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.

The Design Circus, Perth

Dancing bears and acrobats might be scarce, but an exceptional collection of product and representatives from leading Spanish brands and a stimulating calendar of events is making the Design Circus quite the spectacle.

The opening night of The Design Circus saw the Perth Architecture and Design community congregate at Venn Gallery, the main venue for the event and the site of its central exhibition.

A collaboration between Valencian event design firm CuldeSac and Perth retailer Mobilia, The Design Circus aims to celebrate Spanish design and includes pieces from Vondom, Kettal, Marset, Apparatu, Nanimarquina and Yonoh. Special guests from each of these companies have been in attendance to share their thoughts with the audience in a series of workshops held at the Mobilia showroom over the course of the event.

The Design Circus is the brainchild of CuldeSac’s creative director Pepe Garcia, and was first presented in Madrid with the concept of creating an exhibition that was more than the sum of its parts.

“Sometimes what happens is that you have an object or a collection of pieces that are exhibited, but there is no uniting concept behind it, so at the end of the day all people are looking at is just product”, Garcia comments. “We wanted to make a concept that was bigger than the object, so we came up with The Design Circus and for us the circus was a fantastic concept to bring all these things together and to sell a concept.”
