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.

Melanie Katsalidis’ Store Launch

Inimitable local jeweller Melanie Katsalidis rings out 2017 with a new virtual home for her heart-stopping finery.

Multifaceted and brilliant, the founder of Pieces of Eight Gallery, Melanie Katsalidis, is something of a gem herself.

While the talented Melbourne-based jeweller has spent over a decade developing her own covetable works, this week marked the launch of Melanie’s first ever online store.

Creatives, peers, jewellery fanatics and longstanding supporters gathered at Saint Louie salon, adjacent to Pieces of Eight, to celebrate previous collections and catch an exclusive glimpse of new pieces.

A towering installation of gorgeous blooms by florist Cecilia Fox crowned the artfully curated space, with guests mingling around the understated gleam of precious metals, pearls and rare gemstones at the centre.

Drawing excited gasps and longing sighs, visitors were encouraged to try on the exquisitely crafted jewellery. Melanie Katsalidis is sure to appear on many a Christmas wishlist…
