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.

vbo Celebrates Its New Melbourne Showroom With Italian Design Connoisseurs

Despite frosty temperatures, Melbourne’s design community remained characteristically unfazed by bad weather and turned out en force for the grand reveal of vbo australia’s new East Melbourne showroom, with special guests and design connoisseurs Henri Timi and Viabizzuno from Italy.


Just a few doors down from the Pullman hotel on Wellington Parade, the all new vbo showroom is optimally positioned between the city’s popular design hubs of Richmond, the CBD and Collingwood.

Having had a long-established relationship with Italian lighting brand Viabizzuno (for which vbo is the exclusive producer in Australia), the new showroom also celebrates vbo’s close ties with Milanese designer, Henry Timi. His designs are available through vbo exclusively in Australia. 

The combination of sophisticated and refined lighting, alongside the minimalist finesse of Timi’s work is incredibly alluring. And it’s exciting for the Australian design community to finally have a destination where they can view Timi’s work first-hand, alongside the well considered collection of Viabizzuno.

The grand reveal of the the new Melbourne showroom saw it tightly packed from front to back with representatives from Australia’s leading studios. A night memorable for its beautiful design and plenty of familiar faces.
