No Comments on Corian and Stormtech’s no-grout shower floor

With no grout lines, the Corian floor tile comes as one solid piece, meaning it’s easier to clean and has a smoother finish than traditional tiling.

Made from Corian, featuring fully integrated linear drainage from Stormtech’s Marc Newson series, the streamlined look is perfect for contemporary homes.

Offered in Corian’s cool Glacier White, the floor’s surface is available in seven sizes. It also comes configured with a threshold or wall aligned drain (in stainless steel or white) to balance any bathroom design.

Non-porous and stain and slip resistant, the low-maintenance Corian shower floor retails for $685 (900x900mm) excluding installation.

No Comments on Marc Newson for Noritake: available outside Qantas first class!

I am a big fan of colour, but sometimes you just can’t beat pure white, and the dinner set by Marc Newson for Noritake is one such example.

Originally designed for use in Qantas first class cabins, the collection of fine bone china pieces — from plates, bowls and platters to cups, saucers, mugs and teapots — is now available to all. Very contemporary, yet an instant classic in terms of its simple lines and low profile, each delicate piece is of commercial quality, exhibiting superior durability, chip-resistance and suitable for both the dishwasher and microwave oven.

With numerous accolades, including world’s most influential designer and Royal Designer for Industry (UK), Marc was an obvious choice to design the ultimate dinner set showcasing his inimitable skill of combining minimalist aesthetics with timeless style.

The collection was originally available as a complete 20-piece dinner service but has now been released in a series of four-piece gift sets, perfect for those who want to gradually build the collection or a wonderful gift idea. Four-piece gift sets are available for multi-bowls, small bowls, 27cm dinner plates, 21cm entrée plates and 16cm bread and butter plates. There are also tea cup and saucer sets for two, mugs for two and espresso cups and saucers for two.

Each of the sets is beautifully gift boxed and available nationally from department stores, kitchenware retailers and online. For more information visit Noritake here.

Congratulations Henry Wilson, winner of the craft and object design category in this year’s SOYA. He wins $5,000 cash, $5,000 in Qantas flights and a money-can’t-buy mentorship with design legend Marc Newson.

“I have always followed the Qantas SOYA awards and have entered twice in the past,” said Henry. “I was initially drawn to the awards as they offer a unique opportunity to exhibit and be judged on a body of work. It is great to get a platform to share your work and be in the running for such a comprehensive prize. It really covers all the areas: travel, media, mentor and funding.”

Henry Wilson among finalists in SOYA awards

Post date August 3, 2012

The finalists in the Qantas Spirit of Youth Awards (SOYA) will spend an anxious weekend waiting to see if they’ve won a money-can’t-buy mentorship with design legend Marc Newson.

Up and coming furniture designer Henry Wilson is among the talented Australian finalists under the age of 30 in the running to receive financial support ($5000 cash and $5000 in Qantas flights), as well as a rare 12-month mentorship opportunity with Newson.

As one of the world’s foremost designers, Newson’s distinctive style can be discovered through an enormous range of designs, from watches and furniture to restaurants, recording studios, Qantas Club Lounges and even on the new Qantas A380. Marc believes designing in Australia helped his innovative work break the traditional design mould. “Coming from Australia and studying jewellery and sculpture, my design was self-taught and instinctive,” he says. Now with permanent exhibitions of his work in New York’s Museum of Modern Art, London’s Design Museum and the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, Newson has become one of the most sought-after designers in the world.
