Höglund Art Glass Gallery

First to recommend

Description

Future heirlooms can be had from Höglund Art Glass. These one-of-a-kind Ariel-, Graal-, incalmo- and sommerso-technique glass collectibles by Ola Höglund and Marie Simberg-Höglund reflect the landscape of New Zealand and Far North Queensland, the couple’s adopted home since migrating from Sweden in the early 1980s. The Höglunds’ luminous glass objects suggest that Sydney—and all of Australasia’s natural beauty—isn’t a distraction from design, but rather an inspiration for it. (via Elements of Living)

Tyrone Dearing

First to recommend

Description

For a past you can own, the first stop is Tyrone Dearing in Potts Point, a quick northerly jaunt from Darlinghurst, Sydney. The in-demand interior designer interacts with the public in this shop. Nestled next to the entrance of the Art Deco Macleay Regis apartment building, Dearing’s 1920s–1950s antiques seem right at home here. Only eagle eyes will notice that some of the pieces aren’t really antiques—Dearing manufactures his own line of reproduction furniture to exacting historical standards. (via Elements of Living)

Schamburg + Alvisse

First to recommend

Description

Return to native Australian works at the studio of Schamburg + Alvisse. The duo’s work, like the trim Stretch Series spun-fiberglass stools, could be mistaken for Italian design. It is also New York high-concept, as seen in the interactive, linked-tetrahedron modular sofa that the firm launched in 2005. But the furniture is all made in Australia. The same goes at more mainstream Schiavello, which manufactures its entire inventory on shore to the tune of a recent $40 million facilities upgrade. (via Elements of Living)

Customweave

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

The Australian wool pieces of Customweave are available in an array of natural dyes and sizes. Designed by Sophie Ellis and Jo Philipson, the rugs are equally visual and tactile: Hanging near the store’s entrance, for example, wood butterflies dance across a chocolate-colored alpaca field, punctuated by leather-tassle dewdrops.
