Recorded in front of a live audience from the gorgeous Living Edge showroom here in Melbourne, this special episode celebrates our official launch of The Design Anatomy podcast last year. Hosts Bree Banfield and Lauren Li engage in a wonderful discussion with renowned stylist & interior decorator Simone Haag.
We explore the intersection of classic design and modern creativity, delving into how iconic pieces like the Eames Lounge Chair continue to influence contemporary aesthetics.
The conversation highlights the importance of personal stories in design, the challenges of sourcing unique furniture, and the evolving nature of design trends. Simone shares her journey from residential to commercial design, emphasizing the significance of integrity and enjoyment in creating timeless spaces. In this conversation, the speakers explore the evolving relationship between art and design, particularly in furniture.
They discuss how clients are increasingly valuing pieces that serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. The dialogue shifts to the importance of identifying future classics in design, the role of material innovation and sustainability, and the significance of personal touches in creating meaningful spaces. The speakers also celebrate Australian design and share personal anecdotes that highlight the journey of iconic pieces in their lives.
