Temple & Webster’s 1st Birthday

A lavish first birthday on Sydney Harbour for Temple & Webster offered a welcome taste of the Summer ahead

December 4th, 2012

Few one year olds can lay claim to such a lavish birthday party, but with the first year of trading proving an overwhelming success for Temple & Webster, the occasion called for it.

50 guests were hosted on-board ’The Island’, moored off Mrs Macquarie’s Chair with uninterrupted views to the Opera House and Harbour Bridge beyond.

Beautifully styled, all decorative elements and displays on the day were prepared by the talented T&W in-house styling team with some appreciative and humbling words during proceedings from co-founder Adam McWhinney.

Fast becoming Australia’s leading online design retailer with all offerings curated expertly by Caroline Walsh – ensuring design excellence is represented in an online retail environment, shunning replicas, promoting home-grown talent and supporting local suppliers.

HOSPITALITY :: This new restaurant in Sichuan, Chi

HOSPITALITY :: This new restaurant in Sichuan, China has taken form and function to another level of originality.

CHUAN HSI PA TZU, designed by Hummingbird Design Consultants Design (HDC Design), has created a unique hospitality venue that provides diners with a contemporary environment in which to celebrate the delicious heritage of hot pot cuisine.

This project re-defines the hot pot experience with a truly outstanding aesthetic, sharpened by the fluid slanted roof which was retained from the original structure and helped inform the new design. The application of bamboo has been re-interpreted into modern awnings and screens but also reflects the materiality of Sichuan to present old as new.
