Hatch in a Nest

Sustainable Aussie designer Sandy Imeson took to Milan in April with his 100% recycled Hatch bowls.

May 5th, 2008

A talented group of Melbourne designers exhibited in a satellite exhibition in Milan this April during Salone del Mobili in April 2008 as part of the Melbourne Fringe furniture festival.

Melbourne designer Sandy Imeson was part of the act and his beautiful ’Hatch’ bowl designs were a hit with the world.

Resembling delicate birds nests, each bowl is randomly hand woven from 100% recycled fused steel and recycled street sweeper brush bristles. Available in white and black, the bowls come in various sizes.

Sandy was the winner of the Sustainablity Prize by Banyule City Council in 2006, and since returning from Milan this month, he is in line for a lot more to come.

Melbourne Fringe Furniture, is an icon of the Melbourne Fringe Festival. The exhibition showcases contemporary furniture from more than 100 artists, furniture designers, interior designers, industrial designers and architects one a year from across Australia.

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.
