Issue 62

Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

St James Whitting And Designer Rugs Launch Elementals

Collaboration is said to lead us places we’d never arrive travelling solo, no one knows that better than Designer Rugs.

Kate St James, FDIA, and Catherine Whitting, AssDIA, have long, extensive – but heretofore separate – careers in the Australian design realm. The duo joined forces in recent years to create St James – Whitting, an interior design practise with a hard lined focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Designer Rugs have likewise endured the ups, downs, shifts and flips the ever-fluid design industry is known for.

No strangers to each other, or to the process or collaboration, the two entities have been hard at work putting together the Elementals rug collection produced and distributed through Designer Rugs.

On Thursday 19 October – at long last – the collection of five dynamic, colourful, and truly unique rugs was launched. You can see them in more detail here.
