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.

Emerging Australian design gets shopping with the latest addition to Sydney’s Hill Street Design Precinct.


How many times have you seen a concept design, something you loved the look of and just wished someone would make it?

Well, one of Australia’s most respected design competitions, Workshopped, has just opened a store featuring the designs of young Australians that you would likely have seen recently in concept stage.

Finding a home in the buzzing new Hill Street Precinct in Sydney’s Surry Hills, the Workshopped retail outlet is a logical next step for the program which aims to help young and emerging designers take their products to market.

 

You’ll spot design such as Danny Cheung’s 1984 Fish Bowl and work by Akira Isogawa and Fukotoshi Ueno.

The Workshopped program has been supporting new Australian design since 2001 with their competition and manufacturing assistance. More recently they launched their online store – a precursor to the new Hill Street store.

 

"There is nothing quite like it in Sydney,” explains Raymond Scott of Workshopped. “We knew that if we were to display and sell works by Australian designers of international renown […] and other award winning designers, then our physical retail presence had to be just as cutting edge and sustaining."

The store has been designed by Smart Design Studio and built by Inde Studio, using a minimal colour and materials palette.

 

 

We always love to see Australian design represented and love even more that the new Workshopped retail store is supported our young, up-and-coming designers.

Word is that there’s also a café in the works for the store, which sounds like the perfect accompaniment.

If you’re in Sydney why not swing by the Hill Street Precinct and while you’re there check out Euroluce lighting and Arthur G furniture.
