Inspiration

Earlier in the year I travelled to Bali to spend a few glorious days with friends. Absorbing the rich & textural colour palette of the landscape, and not to mention the breathtaking interiors that seemingly have no limits! 

Exploring the humble beauty & nautical charm of the Crayshack

Do you dream of remote islands with just a simple shack to protect you and be your base whilst you explore? Well, the Cray shack is for you!

Did you know about the rich history behind the reef knot?

Its simplicity, strength, and adaptability have ensured its endurance through the ages, reminding us that even the simplest of knots can weave a complex and enduring narrative in the fabric of history. 

Every one of my designs, whether it’s a piece of hardware or an interior space, has a story behind it that shaped its form and imbued it with character. Here’s the origin story of two of my favourite hardware designs, the London and the Pimlico.

Flinders Island is just a 45 minute flight in a small, 20-seater plane from Hobart on Sharpe airlines (or you can fly in from Launceston or Melbourne). In late summer, while on a whirlwind weeklong tour of Tasmania, we finally made the hop over to Flinders, an island of big vistas, big tides (3m), giant limpets, vast land, sea and skyscapes, and big sunsets

 Just under an hour outside of Hobart - a lovely drive down roads lined with apple, nectarine, pear and plum trees - you’ll find The Bowmont, overlooking the Huon River in the village of Franklin. 

Across the road, wooden sheds nestle over the river.
