DESIGN BRANDS YOU LOVE?

We like mixing vintage pieces with new furniture. We love Mario Bellini and Artemide for their very cool 70s and 80s pieces, as well as local contempora­ry furniture companies such as Jardan and Grazia & Co.

FAVOURITE COLOUR FOR A WALL?

A soft blue-grey is great, as this tone works so well as a backdrop to colourful pieces and artwork and it’s also very restful.

DREAM PIECE OF FURNITURE?

The Alta chair designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1971 is an amazing iconic piece both functional­ly and from a design perspectiv­e. It would be a dream to have that in our bedroom one day.

PREFERRED MATERIALS?

We love pieces that are tactile and handmade, unusual and eclectic ceramics and Aboriginal artworks.

ESSENTIAL DECORATIVE ACCESSORY?

We often use vases as decoration because they always look beautiful whether they are made from glass or ceramics. They are versatile, too, as they can be displayed with flowers in them or just as standalone items.
