Who are three people that inspire/excite you:
What is your favourite…
Car/bike/plane/boat model: Bike- Velorbis – pure style! Boat- Brenta 60 Car- New & vintage Porsche 911 & Aston Martin DB7– the styling never dates!
Chair model: Cassina Utrecht– it’s both classic and surprisingly comfortable.
Residential space: Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye. The design is simple, honest and beautiful – a dream house!
Commercial space: I love the Louvre glass pyramid – it’s incredible to stand inside and look up. Also, locally I love the new RMIT Design Hub. The pivoting circles on the façade cast stunning shadows throughout.
Decorative product: Art- paintings & sculptures
Functional product: Artemide Tizio Task Lamp – I have one at work and home.
Handmade good: Natural hide Robert Clergerie tote bag & Fredericia Borge Morgensen leather dining chairs. The leather patinas beautifully.
meal: I can’t go past steak tartare with loads of spice!
restaurant: Nopi in London
drink: A thirst quenching Caprioska.
item in your studio: The Tivoli radio– I cant bare the quiet in the office!
piece of technology: MacBook Pro & iphone– although predictable!
What does the term ‘Design Hunter’™ mean to you? Always being on the look out for new inspiration and great design.
