VELA - the latin word for sail - is an Australian lifestyle brand that celebrates world class design and superlative craftsmanship.
From its inception, VELA has delivered a simple, but rigorous mission: to offer highly-curated, exceptionally made products that enhance our everyday lives. As such, the brand’s products have been developed in collaboration with some of the world’s leading craftspeople and artisans, who elevate the prosaic into the poetic.
Aesthetically speaking, VELA product’s are characterized by a streamlined, antipodean sensibility that is also highly international in its purview. Besides visual considerations, a VELA product must offer durability and timelessness; we believe a handcrafted object is one to be loved and enjoyed over a lifetime, even generations. VELA is staunchly anti-disposable. From the beginning, we’ve sought to showcase products that are ethically manufactured using materials that are ecologically sustainable. Given our respect for age-old traditions, we insist on honour and dignity during each step on the life cycle of an item.
These core values reflect the personal vision of the company’s founder Troy Tindill, a yachtsman who has spent his career sailing in prestigious races including the America’s Cup and the Sydney to Hobart. Growing up in New Zealand making first rate sails and yachts, Tindill became infatuated with independent craftsmanship, enduring quality and state of the art design. Just as a sailboat symbolises a voyage, each VELA product is imbued with inspiration, wonder and a sense of discovery.
From perspective-shifting mirrors, to surfaces with sheen; from translucent tables to iridescent objets d’art, these reflective surfaces will delight and illude you.
Forget the straight lines and hard edges of minimalist design. Curvaceous shapes, sculptural forms, modular sofas and chunky lounge furniture makes for a room that loves to be lived in.
Whether it be woven from wicker, traditionally hand-knotted, or made of rattan and timber, there is something comforting about natural fibres and hand-crafted furniture.
Lighting is arguably one of the most atmospheric elements of any space, and these room-enhancing lighting solutions have us well-and-truly seduced.
