Derek Swalwell statement

November 26th, 2025

Indesign Media is aware of recent reports raising serious concerns about Australian architectural photographer Derek Swalwell. We extend our concern and solidarity to victims and their families.

We have reviewed material associated with Swalwell across Architecture & Design, Habitus and Indesign, and, in the immediate term, will leave this material as published online. These photographs form part of the visual record for many architectural and design practices, and their removal would directly affect the representation of those projects rather than the individual responsible for capturing them.

However, we encourage any practice or relevant party that wishes to discuss or reassess the imagery associated with their work to reach out to us at editor@indesignlive.com.

Anyone seeking assistance or advice can contact the following services:

Lifeline (24-Hour Crisis Line): 13 11 14

A collective vision: The whimsical workplace with Intuit, COX and MillerKnoll

Stepping into Intuit’s Sydney workplace certainly doesn’t feel like walking into an office. Why?

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
