Issue 66

Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Kitchens and bathrooms are, arguably, the most consequential rooms in the home — and almost always the first to be considered. Whether approached through renovation or new build, their design has the power to recalibrate how a home is lived in and experienced. For this issue, our guest editor, Mardi Doherty, principal of Studio Doherty, explores what it truly means to transform these pivotal spaces — and why thoughtful design in kitchens and bathrooms delivers dividends far beyond the purely functional. Her insights both as an architect and as her own client give an open and honest account of the thinking behind creating a home.

Milan 2026: We want to know who’s going from our region!

Milan Design Week arrives in April and we’ll have our team over there as usual – get in touch if you’re heading over from Australia, New Zealand or the wider Asia-Pacific.

It’s almost time again for the biggest, most prestigious design gathering on the planet – Milan Design Week. As usual, we’ll be heading over to Europe in order to bring the best in installations, products, news and people from the event to our audience in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.

In recent years, we’ve had to privilege of interviewing star global designers – who don’t often visit our region – such as Ronan Bouroullec, Jaime Hayon, Vincent Van Duysen, Philippe Starck and many more. Expect more of the same in 2026.

Gathering in Europe is always an opportunity for the antipodean design community to get together in a different setting. We look forward to seeing familiar faces in Italy, whether designers or readers – so let us know. Get in touch if you’re heading over and we can let you know about events we might be involved in running!

Milan Design Week coverage will run throughout the week of 20-25th April, 2026 – follow us on Instagram for all the latest!
