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.

THE MIGHTY OAK

In celebration of Oak, here’s a selection of products and projects that feature this glorious timber.


 
With blonde tones still firmly in the spotlight, it’s no wonder that a palette of Oak tones, textures and species are sweeping their way across interiors and furniture showrooms throughout the country. Elana Castle highlights a few of her Oak-accented favourites.


 
1 | BEAUTY EDU by Technē Architecture + Interior Design

Technē’s fitout for Melbourne-based Beauty EDU, is highlighted by white washed oak (and accents of mint) which tie in with the Beauty EDU brand. Custom joinery items, including the reception table top, make-up station, wall panelling and display unit, are all fashioned from Oak veneer. The floor boards are European Oak, picking up the aesthetic overtones of the oak-legged armchairs and nail bar side tables.

With round mirrors certainly having their moment, you can’t go past Douglas and Bec’s timeless Oak Mirror 500 with leather strap. Handcrafted in solid bent American white oak frame with a raw russet leather strap and gold detailing, this elegant composition is bound to become a perennial favourite.
