What a year for Greg Natale!

May 16, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Tonight a new Belle | Coco Republic interior Designer of the Year will be crowned at the industry’s night of night’s in Sydney (I’ll be there and I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow, of course). This means current winner Greg Natale will be, so to speak, handing over his well deserved design crown.

It’s been a fantastic year for Greg who tells me he recently had one of his best months ever business wise. This year has seen him celebrate a decade of running his own practice, Greg Natale Design, collaborate with Designer Rugs and move into bigger office premises.

Greg has been a generous supporter of this blog and I’d to say a big well done on a fantastic year of beautiful design work. I’m looking forward to picking up some great advice and inspiration at his sold out session at Coco Republic Design School on Friday.

Who do you think will win designer of the year tonight? You can find a list of finalists here.

Belle/Coco Republic Interior Design Award finalists announced

May 11, 2012 By Leave a Comment

I can’t wait to attend the prestigious Belle/Coco Republic Interior Design Awards 2012 next week.

Initiated in 2011, when the top title was won by Greg Natale, the awards celebrate and acknowledge excellence, creativity, innovation and integrity and the extraordinary individuals who make the local interior design scene the envy of the world.

Belle Editor-­in-­Chief Neale Whitaker said the judges were truly inspired by this year’s entries. “‘Tough call’ is probably an understatement, but after many hours of deliberation and discussion we chose the finalists on the basis of originality, innovation, quality of execution and response to the brief.”

Interiors Addict in Luxury Home Design

May 2, 2012 By 2 Comments

It really has been a fantastic week for press coverage and I’m so grateful. It doesn’t matter that I put magazines together for a living, seeing little ‘ole me and my passion (this blog) on the pages of my favourite magazines, that’s different. That’s not everyday, it’s quite the thrill! On Monday belle came out, with a mention of yours truly, and today Luxury Home Design magazine hit the shelves containing a full page profile. Thank you editors, for your support. Make sure you pick up copies of both!

I chose some fab homewares from Coco Republic, Dinosaur Designs, Dunlin Home and Orson & Blake to talk about.

A great week to look forward to!

April 29, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Half the reason I’ve been hibernating on the couch this weekend trying to kick my long-running cold and wisdom tooth infection is because I NEED to be better for this coming week! I’ve been invited to so many fun events and  I’m going to be on the pages of two of my favoutite mags.

Tomorrow I’m going to the Camilla show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia thanks to HP, who look after the event’s technology.

Then on Tuesday, I’m excited to be attending the launch of Ilsa Crawford’s stunning new homewares collection for Georg Jensen at an event co-hosted by Vogue Living. It can’t fail to be fabulous really, can it? Check out some of the Ilse range below…

Then on Thursday I’m off to Koskela for the launch of the book Shibori Recreated. Can’t wait. Love the Shibori girls’ work!

And then the Hong Kong Style event at Fashion Week to round it all off on Friday. The big question is, of course, what’s a girl to wear?!

And to top it all off, the new issues of belle and Luxury Home Design, both of which I’m lucky enough to be featured in (oh, the honour!) are both out this week. Make sure you pick up a copy!

Of course, I’ll be telling you all about it here and sharing photos, so come back soon.
