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.

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…
