The perspex boxes that are like tapas for furniture

When I first saw Georgia Ezra’s perspex, customisable furniture, I fell in love with it immediately and had to find out more. Little did I know the young designer behind the CAJA brand would also turn out to be a trapeze artist! Seriously cool, no? Georgia, 25, studied at UNSW and graduated with a Bachelor […]

Room Talk: Aaron Bourne, a visual merchandiser who runs Harold’s Finishing Touches

I love this very masculine bedroom belonging to visual merchandiser Aaron Bourne, who runs a homewares store. What do you think? Aaron, 23, from Toowoomba, runs Harold’s Finishing Touches and admits he doesn’t have room on that bedside for a glass of water, but who cares about practicalities?! Many of the gorgeous items he sources […]

I love this silver ‘statement’ pineapple

Pineapples are everywhere in homewares at the moment: lamp bases, fabric prints, you name it. I have my eye on this polyresin ornament from Escape To Paradise ($99). It’s big enough (63cm high) to make a real statement. There’s a white version too but I’m currently a little bit obsessed with everything metallic. I don’t […]
