Smooth As Stone

Cubes Dinosaur Designs

Australian design duo Stephen Ormandy and Louise Olsen founded Dinosaur Designs – the creator of our beloved INDE. Awards trophies – over 30 years ago, and since then, their brand has continually created desirable design objects for a hungry Australian market. Their unique resin homewares and jewellery have also found admiration elsewhere in the world, with Dinosaur Designs stores appearing in New York and London in addition to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Elsewhere, the Dinosaur Designs online store is the portal to the brand’s colourful world. The pair’s most recent collection, Riverstone, was inspired by the smooth rocky forms found on riverbeds. The Skipping Stones vases are central to the homewares element of the collection, in a rich, dense palette of burgundy and forest green laced with pale mineral swirls, chalky white and earthy tones.
