Live from the show: Grandeliers by Who Did That?

Saturday, April 30th, 2011


Grandeliers literally shone at Life Instyle Sydney.  This exciting new exhibitor created a illuminated space, showcasing their highly innovative and stylish pendant and floor lamps.

pendants

Grandeliers lighting range features intricately cut designs in certified tasmanian oak, blackwood, custom veneers and coloured perspex creating.  Aside from the sheer beauty of the shades, they are easily transported as products flat-packed and have tool-free assembly.

Former Queensland designer Loz Abberton decamped to Tasmania in 2006 where she claims “a tangible sense of identity triumphed.” The result was the birth of her company Who Did That, which produces Grandliers. Each Grandelier is made from hand-printed, FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) ply and veneers in Loz’s studio on the Carlton Bluff headland in Tasmania, Australia.

Another innovative feature of each Grandelier is that they can double up as either a hanging pendant light or floor/sideboard lamp.

Live from the show: me and amber

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

A consistent visual delight at Life Instyle is me and amber. Evolved from a love of design and image-making, Karen and Amber studied visual communications together at university, and have been friends since kindergarten. Together they  produce a range of hand screen printed greeting cards (100% recycled paper), limited edition artworks, notebooks and magnets.

The latest addition is a beautiful collection of screen printed linen tea towels and cushions, featuring signature silhouette graphics with touches of typographic elements from books. Also launched at Life Instyle Sydney was a new collection of  badges and mouse pads.

The work lies in the balance between bold graphics and the tactile nature of the making process. me and amber take pleasure in being personally involved in each part of the design process, creating unique pieces that are to be loved.
