Austral Bricks partner with Camilla Franks in unlikely pairing

In a unique collaboration, Austral Bricks have partnered with fashion icon Camilla Franks on a collection of bold and bright bricks inspired by Mexico.

Named From Mexico City to Oaxaca, the collection, which came about after Camilla travelled through Central America, was inspired by the colonial grandeur and cobbled streets of Mexico City; the earthy tones of the Teotihuacan pyramids and Aztec treasures; the vivid symbolism of Frida Kahlo’s artworks; and the Spanish-infused culture of Coyoacan and Oaxaca.

 

With colours well suited to the Australian culture, climate and environment, the collection is warm and inviting and infused with Camilla’s fashion forward design sense. Designed to be long-lasting and adaptable for a range of contemporary projects, the vivid Azure and Aubergine hues are balanced by the warm Sol, with the Flame and Rosado colours bringing a touch of vibrancy to the collection.

Beautiful, unique ceramics by Takeawei

I was delighted to discover this Australian ceramics brand by a talented and well travelled Queenslander with a very impressive fashion background.

It comes as no surprise to me that Chela Edmunds’ work is being stocked by Sydney’s Koskela,which is a serious stamp of approval for anyone! Takeawei is a range of beautiful and useful objects in clay, covering a handful of trends with its ombre, animal print and neon designs, while still offering something very unique and endearingly imperfect. I particularly like the diversity of her pieces.

Chela says: “I’m so happy to be in Koskela! Being that I can only make a limited amount of pieces each month I knew I couldn’t supply everyone. Koskela was at the top of my list. They have such a refreshing approach to retail as a lifestyle experience.”
