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.

Life In A Glass Castle

Meet Poesia, the latest collection from Brickworks. For many, the inclination towards glass bricks may seem like the return of an old friend – perhaps unrecognisable in such an array of bold colours.

Brickworks latest collection, Poesia, is all about fine quality, craft traditions and the refined beauty of Italian glass making. It was designed in Italy and took years to perfect its purity and crispness of glass all the while maintaining durability and strength of bricks. The clear glass brick is a first for the Australian market.

The collection’s solid glass construction allows architects and designers to create dynamic light-filled interiors, dazzling gallery spaces and transparent volumes the flow and interconnect. The bricks can be used internally or externally while still providing thermal shock resistance. Available in standard form (230mm x 110mm x 76mm) and in a range of 3 different finishes: natural, polished and frosted. The range also comes in five different designs: from the pure white of Arctic Crystal, to the calming blues of Aqua Marine and Blue Sapphire, to the warm Golden Amber and moody Smokey Quartz.
