Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

A new modern classic: Teel by Phoenix

Winner of the prestigious 2022 Red Dot Award for ‘Best of the Best’ in Product Design, Teel explores proportion, form and balance in a timeless collection of mixer taps, shower mixers and outlets.


The international award-winning Australian design team at Phoenix continue their winning ways with the unique Teel collection, which has won ‘Best of the Best’ at the 2022 Red Dot Design Awards as recognition for excellence in Product Design.

The Red Dot Design Award is conferred on the year’s best products as selected by the Red Dot jury for their excellence in design, as well as function and innovation. The Best of the Best award is the highest distinction in the competition and is bestowed on pioneering designs – a testament to Teel’s refined combination of aesthetics, function and form.

Phoenix’s Teel design is an elegant, slender collection of mixer taps, shower mixers and outlets. The range’s distinctive profile originated through the exploration of how two shapes organically flow together – specifically an oval blending into a circle – which became the basis of Teel’s unique, dynamic form. From there, each element was carefully considered to keep the profile slender and in proportion – the body, internal cartridge, aerator, outlet height and width, back plate shape and handle design.

The end result is a range of seamless, highly-finished tapware designs that convey a sense of sophistication through their aesthetically-pleasing symmetry. The Teel collection’s elegant profiles, modern finishes and timeless qualities ensure each product could easily integrate into many bathrooms and kitchens of today.

The products offered in this collection include:

  • Teel Basin Mixer
  • Teel Vessel Mixer
  • Teel Sink Mixer
  • Teel Wall Basin/Bath Mixer Set
  • Teel Wall Basin Outlet
  • Teel Wall Bath Outlet
  • Teel Shower/Wall Mixer
  • Teel Shower/Bath Diverter Mixer


Teel is available in four trending finishes – Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Gun Metal and Matte Black. These durable finishing options make the collection versatile and easily placed within a wide range of contemporary spaces and interior designs.

Like all of Phoenix’s products, each Teel design is precisely manufactured and finished to a high quality.  Phoenix offers a 15-year warranty period on the cartridge, 7 years on product, parts and finish, and 1 year on labour for the entire Teel collection.

Phoenix nurtures Australian talent and is a strong advocate of creating uniquely designed taps, mixers, showers and accessories. Over its nearly 30-year history, Phoenix has grown to be a leader within the Australian plumbing industry. The company’s designs have been recognised by international awards, and their products are now found in kitchens and bathrooms around the world.
