Indesign in Milan: Satellite

April 13th, 2011

1. ‘Pebble Chair’ by Roz Campbell at Melbourne Movement takes inspiration from the beaded seat covers popular with cab drivers. The rocks on the outdoor chair absorb the heat of the sun.

2. ‘Alba’ concept light by Spalvieri/Delciotto changes from dark blue to white with the heat of a light bulb.

3. Strek Design Collective was cute and colourful.

4. Label Objet had some beautiful customisable glassware, the pieces of which are joined with balloons and a bicycle pump!

5. ‘Dancing with Concrete Easy Chair’ by Swedish Ninja is deceptively solid.

6. ‘Leone’ lights by Lansavecchia + Wai use the same traditional techniques used to make Chinese lion masks. Layers of paper cover the bamboo frame.

7. Singapore designer, Jarrod Lim has a beautiful collection on show at the entrance to Satellite.

Japan Day 1: Benesse Art Site, Naoshima

Our first stop as we travel through Japan is Benesse Art Site Naoshima, which refers to the activities held on the group of islands in the Seto Inland Sea region; home to a collection of some of the world’s most inspiring art, architecture and outdoor sculptures. Visiting Benesse Art Site Naoshima is akin to a spiritual experience; the synergy between art, nature and architecture is exquisite.

A collective vision: The whimsical workplace with Intuit, COX and MillerKnoll

Stepping into Intuit’s Sydney workplace certainly doesn’t feel like walking into an office. Why? In this film, we discover that, when joy takes precedence as a design driver, even a high-performing commercial CBD headquarters can feel like an intuitive wonderland that invites employees to choose their own adventure.
