Immediately striking yet engagingly subtle, No5’s combination of deep curves, sloping faces, tapering sides and soft rounded corners create an inviting new form. But it’s not all show as No5 has been designed with a strong focus on ‘design for manufacture’. The result is a unique and beautiful chair that also happens to be very practical and cost effective.

“I’m fascinated by the capability of modern computer controlled manufacturing technologies, and the potential to apply these technologies in innovative new ways, creating subtle new forms that belie their machine origin. No5 is a continuation of my creative developments with CNC foam cutting technology. It’s complex form is cut in one piece from solid foam with very little wastage” – Keith Melbourne

HOSPITALITY :: Step into the sumptuous Sound Garde

HOSPITALITY :: Step into the sumptuous Sound Garden by @hoggandlamb .

There is something outlandish to the sheer size of the Sound Garden - a grand venue which demands a crowd. Occupying the entire space from floor to glazed ceiling, the upper portion is arranged as a wide passage surrounding the double height volume of the atrium space. As such, the space is effectively three floors high with only the lower two being occupied, while the remainder is just fabulous height, light and scale.

A 7 metre Ficus Hillii tree rises through the centre of the staircase from the ground floor to be met by a jungle of hanging plants on the second. Located in fortitude valley, the weather is just right for these plants which have flourished in the short time the Sound Garden has been open.
