Own World Arrives in Melbourne

November 24th, 2016


This month, Own World launched into the Melbourne market by opening a stunning new showroom space at 11 Stanley Street, Collingwood.

Own World welcomed friends, clients, architects, designers & suppliers who travelled as far and wide as Italy and Spain. Guests were treated to an experiential flavour of the Own World brand in a newly refurbished space, designed by CoLab Design Studio. A “Symphony On The Senses” was promised and guests enjoyed the wondrous sound of a 16 piece orchestra from Philharmonia Australia to set the scene and mood.

The evening also served as a first introduction to Own World’s Melbourne sales team’s newest members – Sam Manley and Kariss Kenney, who join Jono Klein and Mandy James.

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.

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