A Heritage Ponsonby Home

Creating spaces with feeling is something Olivia Moon, founder of Nodi Rugs, is passionate about, and combining old and new is her go-to tool for making a house feel like home. “I love pieces that have already lived for 100 years and will continue for another 100; great design will last that long.”

The Libraries - The Hotel Britomart

The Libraries at The Hotel Britomart are a succession of elegant spaces crafted for intimate gatherings, private dinners, meetings and more.

Introducing Arno Declercq

The recent collection of objects created by Belgian designer, maker and art dealer, Arno Declercq pays homage to history and craft by focusing on ancient architecture, tribal arts and design.  Each piece of wood is hand-crafted by Arno and his father from one of two types of wood: decades-long dried oak and the tropical hardwood Iroko.  The beauty of the veins and the texture of the black solid wood reveals itself in each object in its own, unique way.

Interior Feature: No 92 Wine Bar Sydney

No 92 Wine Bar by Pattern Studio preserves the historical essence of a rendered brick, late 1800s Victorian Georgian Building in Glebe. Past iterations have seen the building house a bank, tea room, antique dealer, boot factory and even a private investigators office. Now, the two-storey interior delivers the warmth of a cosy local hangout with a nuanced elegance.

Jo MacKay and Sam Curtis of MacKay Curtis Architecture were approached by the owners of this home with a simple brief: sun and views.
