Modern heirloom homewares: Meet Atley.co

By Christine Tang โ€ข Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Inspired by craftsmanship, raw materials, timeless interiors and rewarding partnerships with local designers and artisans, Atley.co was born from a desire to handcraft modern heirlooms, similar to those held dear by previous generations. Partners in life and business, Lisa and Terry Whittle create a range of beautiful items including homewares, art, baby goods and ceramics.

Their business came about after a trip to Europe in 2017 sparked a fire within the couple. “While travelling, we had the privilege of meeting passionate artisans in different towns who were using centuries-old techniques to create unique handmade pieces. We were immediately taken back to stories of our grandfathers and their fathers.”

The idea of harnessing this beautiful concept at home in Australia inspired the pair to take a leap of faith and create something special with local artisans. Their products are many and varied from magazine racks to art prints, decor objects to plant hangers, leather tissue box covers and personalised ceramic egg cups!

Styling: Vanessa Colyer Tay | Image: Carolyn Price

The Atley.co team believe there is magic in everyday objects and their functionality. Each of their pieces holds a unique history, soul and heart, and the duo love being a part of the entire process, from designing to creating to manufacturing.

Lisa says: “We have been fortunate enough in our first 12 months, to develop incredible relationships in the industry and gain experience working with insanely talented interior designers, photographers, leading Australian stylists and editors. As well as the opportunity to work with incredible brands and, more importantly, the creatives behind them.”

The desire to create products that add heart, character and happiness to everyday life, is reflected in every piece. “Today more than ever, itโ€™s important to stick to why we are here in the first place; to consciously create beautiful, functional, locally made artisan pieces that can be enjoyed not only now, in a world of ever-changing trends, but pieces that will be treasured beyond a season, enhancing and adding joy to our lives now and in many years to come.”

Styling: Villa Styling | Image: Louise Roche

Their favourite piece is their magazine rack side table. Made from a combination of leather and oak, it is truly a functional and timeless piece. Lisa also recommends the popular ceramic connection rings that were designed and made in collaboration with local ceramicist Kaz Morton. “They’re so simple and beautiful, a celebration of the true value of human connection.”

Atley.co continue to design and further develop their collection, establishing new connections within the local creative community. They believe supporting local businesses and Australian made products plays an essential role in the growth of Australian manufacturing and the design industry. “We have so much incredible talent right at our doorstep that the dream is to continue collaborating and creating economic opportunities for our local designers and makers,” Lisa adds.

Appliance colour trends: They've certainly change Appliance colour trends:

They've certainly changed over the years. Remember when ALL fridges were white?! I remember the original BROWN wall oven in our 60s kitchen here pre-reno! I think the dishwasher was brown and beige (and it tripped the electrics every time we used it!) ๐Ÿ˜œ

What do you think of this new dark stainless steel option (pictured) from Westinghouse as seen in @dnaofdesign_'s latest reno? Yay or nay? 

What colour do you like your appliances?

A door to door continuous curved stone ledge in th A door to door continuous curved stone ledge in this bathroom is one of the cleverest designs we've seen in a while!

This mega ledge, made of Corian, even incorporates a sink, seamlessly.

Combined with venetian plaster on the walls, it's no wonder this Illawarra bathroom by @birdblackdesign feels like a day spa!

Come check it out via link bio.

Lead designer Stuart Gibson says: "One smooth curve, right around the room, from either side of the door opening. As it moves around, it creates a ledge for the bath: for bath oils, lotions, a book and a champagne glass. The ledge continues around and becomes the vanity, widening out to create a custom seamless basin."

Play room goals!๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป This is just one room fr Play room goals!๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

This is just one room from today's real house tour which I really love because in employing interior designer @issyandhcreative the owners weren't looking for a complete rip out and re-do but rather to work with what they had in their new suburban home (including a dated kitchen) and give it a largely cosmetic glow up with styling and new furniture (some of which was upcycled). 

The brief was to create a family friendly home. "They weren't looking for perfection but rather a warm and relaxing retreat for their busy young family." This playroom though? Pretty close to perfect! And the mum did the colour coded books herself. Love that๐Ÿ˜

Head over to the blog now via link in bio to see the rest of this home.
