23.01.2022 We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to collaborate with Brickworks Building Products once again for their 'Style Inspiration' project. The vision behind the project was to create a unique range of curated colour schemes that will not only inspire customers, but give them the confidence to create their dream home. Our Director, Kim Chadwick, had the opportunity to refresh the original 8 colour schemes created, in collaboration with Doswell and McLean to speak to current trends. Each colour scheme has been influenced by current market trends, as well as looking to the future of residential design. Head to the Brickworks website to view all 8 of the beautiful schemes or to download the free style guide; https://buff.ly/2wy38KL

22.01.2022 As businesses are starting to tap into consumers desire for nostalgia, our Director, Kim Chadwick, believes that moving to an 'ageless society' is contributing to the 'kidult' movement. "We are churned through the sausage mill- go to school, get a job, get a mortgage and get old. But as people are living longer, with health on our side, people don't feel old and they want to play and have fun and be less serious." Kim sat down with the Herald Sun to chat all about the 'kidult' movement and where it stems from. Head over to https://buff.ly/2W38gV1 to read more about it (subscriber only article).

The result is eight, beautiful palettes that meet current market trends, whilst still reflecting a timeless elegance for future longevity. What can we say? It takes an army to create beauty!

01.01.2022 In response to a shifting model towards preserving the world's finite natural resources and capital, Tarkett Official have committed to developing a circular economy in which materials are reused, integrating recycled materials instead of virgin materials into the production of new products. This is where their new range, 'IQ Surface' was born. The durable vinyl flooring material is produced using recycled materials and can be recycled by Tarkett when it is no longer in use. Note Design Studio, who worked with Tarkett to design the colours and patterns of the range, then designed a beautiful installation inside a historic Milanese building for Milan Design week to show the beautiful product in application.
