Exhibit Interiors shift their focus to furniture in new Surry Hills store

Already a well-known name in the homewares world, Exhibit Interiors have decided to shift their focus onto furniture as they launch their fourth store, in Sydney’s Surry Hills.

From One Angle
“It was a natural move for us to open a store that focused more on furniture,” says owner Mark Gower. “I’ve always believed that it’s possible to offer original, well-made furniture at reasonable prices. We are really excited about the new store — a space dedicated to displaying furniture.”

The 12-year-old brand, which already has two stores in Melbourne and one in Sydney, have created a significantly different feel in their Surry Hills showroom. Offering up clean and contemporary designs, with an abundance of textures like natural oak, marble and animal skin rugs, the showroom shines the spotlight on eclectic objects, ceramics and textiles from all over the world, yet still keeps with the brand’s philosophy of sourcing contemporary and affordable pieces with soul.

“We would ultimately like to become a source, where interior designers and aspiring homemakers can come to find something beautiful,” explains Mark. “We want to supply furniture that’s affordable, original and ready for delivery.”

The Design Hunter launches new store & studio

Trading since 2012, The Design Hunter started a new chapter this week, opening up a new, bigger store and design studio thanks to its continued success.

Founded by designer Melissa Bonney, The Design Hunter is a unique concept that combines a shop featuring internationally sourced furniture and homewares, with a studio of highly experienced designers and stylists. However, due to her success, The Design Hunter has outgrown its current storefront. No longer being able to house both parts of the business in one space, she’s decided to move the business to two.

The new store

“It has been an exciting few years with growth in both areas of The Design Hunter,” explains Melissa. “We are really committed to our local community for our flagship store and have been lucky enough to secure a new larger space for our retail showroom right across the road at 316 Bronte Rd, Charing Cross. The much-loved original store will be transformed into a new studio for our team of designers, decorators and stylists.”

The new store has twice the amount of space compared to the original, giving The Design Hunter the opportunity to house a wider range of collections, including a hand-picked selection of Danish homewares; handwoven, fair-trade artworks from Ghana; Apothia candles from Italy; new Bonnie & Neil cushions; bespoke lighting and furniture pieces from around the world; artisan candles by Grove & Barrow; natural body and cleaning products by Bondi Wash and much more.
