Design Hunter® Q+A: Ross Didier

Melbourne’s Ross Didier has recently launched a new range of furniture, the Congo Collection. The range continues Ross’ success story since launching his studio in 2000, which led to more than 25 successful range launches in both local and international markets.

Saving the Industry from the Replica Plight

Last week we looked at copyright and design laws, which relate to the form of a design. In Part 3, we discuss what can be done about the common practice of replica furniture being sold by association with the name of the original designer, design or brand.

Habitus Loves…. Lounging with the Classics

Looking at the Art of Lounging comes in many shapes and forms, but we cannot forget the classics – new or old, these are the lounges that last a lifetime. Here are some of our current favourites.

Habitus Loves… Getting Low to Lounge

There’s something especially relaxing about sitting near – even on – the ground. It suggests a sense of casualness – when we’re perching, lying down, or sitting cross-legged, we tend to be in a relaxed frame of mind. So here we’ve picked out a range of low seating ideas that bring us close to the earth.

Sarcastic Seating

In 56th Studio’s collection ‘Caricature as Furniture’, we see a different kind of seat. These chairs are communicative, exploring Pop and Hollywood culture through a graphic style inspired by caricature.

Back to Basics

Most of us would agree our lives could do with a little less clutter. Focusing on this point, we look at design in this vein – furniture and products that honour simplicity.

FEEL + FINISH

We feature 8 products that feature man-made, time-honoured and organic textures that celebrate contrast, tactility and physical interaction.
