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.

Architecture expresses the craft of dentistry

This project by Melbourne architecture practice, Demaine Partnership, began when two dentists, who are also father and son, decided that they needed a new building for their growing dental practice – a building that would reflect the quality of their dentistry and modern equipment, and a building that would serve their business well into the future. We chat with architect, Craig Barkla to discuss his approach to the Beaumaris Dental brief.
