The new Earp Bros showroom in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley has been launched on the momentous 135-year anniversary of the tile, stone and hard surfaces brand’s history. And a great space deserves a great opening party, which is how the new showroom was officially christened.

Alive with activity, the space was filled with some of Brisbane’s finest architects and interior designers, as well as some dedicate design lovers who travelled from further afield. The evening was a resounding success and a celebration of just why the company has been a go-to in the world of surface design for 135 years.

Earp Bros extends a sincere thank you to their dedicated clients and design supporters, and we all at IndesignLive extend hearty cheers to the Earp Bros team and congratulate them on their exciting new space. We can’t wait to see what great new projects come from the new showroom.

Powerful presence, silent service: Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series

In design, the concept of absence is particularly powerful – it’s the abundant potential of deliberate non-presence that amplifies the impact of what is. And it is this realm of sophisticated subtraction that Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series so generously – and quietly – occupies.
