An ultimate sourcebook of Australian design, including the best of contemporary interiors, furniture, lighting and bespoke objects.
Australian design has forged its own unique trajectory, influenced by geographic isolation, a distinctive natural environment, and a modern sensibility.
Design Lives Here showcases the best of Australian residential architecture and interiors, and pays homage to the local designers and makers who have crafted bespoke pieces of furniture and lighting for these homes, whether large or small.
From a reimagined Californian bungalow with a dining table inspired by the humble HB pencil to a monumental inner-city residence furnished with more than 100 custom pieces, these housesโand the objects that reside withinโoffer a compelling snapshot of contemporary Australian design through the lens of materiality, utility, site, and place.
