What does your company supply?
Yellow Diva is a creative design studio producing original furniture and products for the commercial and residential sectors.
What’s the history of your company?
The company was conceived in London as a point of convergence between Australian industrial designer, David Walley and British architect, James Davis. Yellow Diva was originally based near Portobello in London’s Notting Hill and sold through Viaduct, Coexistence and Purves & Purves. The company relocated to Melbourne in 2008 with the entire collection now being manufactured in Australia.
