How IoT is shaping the office of the future • The Internet of Things (IoT) is set to radically change office life. With cloud-connected furniture beginning to penetrate the workplace, architects and designers are now starting to recognise the possibilities of a workplace where everything from a desk to a chair can gather data and intelligence that improves our working lives.
The influencers • The turn of the century has very much seen Australian furniture come into its own. Where once the options for high-end interior design were European/Scandinavian contemporary or European/Scandinavian iconic with a smattering of Australian vintage (Parker or Featherstone), the current movement is underpinned by a style that suits our lifestyle and has an honest understanding of our climatic conditions. Interior designers, design houses, design media and the furniture designers and makers have all played a role in this paradigm shift that positions Australian furniture on the global stage.
Armadillo & Co from floor to foundation • While the initial hallmarks of their backgrounds are poles apart, the commonalities of aesthetics and philanthropy are so very aligned that their partnership has a naturalness few could match.
Tête-à-tête with Studio Tate • Studio Tate is a collaborative interior design practice that is steadily climbing the ladder of success. Led by two talented women, it is a practice that knows what it wants and has a plan to realise every ambition.
At Home • Jeff Copolov and Kendra Pinkus are a formidable design duo, having worked together at Bates Smart for 23 years. This year marks a change with Pinkus moving to Robert Mills Architecture & Interiors; however, this beach house is a place for them to come together and relax in beautiful surroundings. insideco-editor Jan Henderson dusts the sand from her feet and steps inside a cherished home to meet two of Australia’s foremost talents and finds interior design at its very best.
