Magazine 4 min read The Monocle MinuteOn Design Sign up to our free newsletters Opinion / Nic Monisse Match ready As an Australian design editor based in London, I often find myself going in to bat for the excellence of Antipodean design. Usually, Australia’s sheer distance makes it hard for my colleagues to actually verify my high opinions. But this week, with a Monocle crew heading to Sydney as part of Monocle Radio’s coverage of the UBS Australasia Conference 2024 (and for a Monocle party too), my celebration of Australian creativity would finally be scrutinised. Thankfully, it cut the mustard. Here are some takeaways from my conversations with designers in Oz.Build it Maybe it’s Australia’s remoteness that makes us such an entrepreneurial bunch. The creatives here consistently find ways of getting great work done on their own terms. A case in point is Reddie (see ‘Around The House’, below). The studio makes furniture using reclaimed Indonesian teak wood and, rather than rely on outside suppliers, it decided to build a factory to deliver its own projects. The result is flawless execution and control over one of the most complex parts of a supply chain.Retail action Sydney-based designer Tamsin Johnson regularly visited France, searching for European mid-century and antique furniture to incorporate in her work. She now displays these pieces – including 1970s Italian swivel chairs (pictured below left) – in her studio-cum-stockroom just a short walk from her William Street shop. It allows clients and the general public to see her work before installation and to make purchases if the pieces haven’t been allocated to a project yet.Perfect product Australian product and furniture design is some of the best in the world. Much of the work that comes from here is practical, pragmatic and beautiful. Look no further than the newly launched Louvre Light by Laker (pre-order here), which is available in a walnut finish (pictured, below right). Its namesake louvred front gently casts light around a space, while also making a striking structural statement. L Monocle Radio Official Timekeeper Latest Podcasts Biden greets Trump at the White House The peaceful transition of power is under way in Washington, as Senate Republicans elect a new majority leader. Carole Walker and Theo Usherwood also discuss the ongoing political and economic crises in Berlin. The Monocle Daily 40 min listen Can Elon Musk boost US government efficiency?

Plus: Monocle’s Monica Lillis is in Somerset to learn more about the hotel and country estate that’s committed to the land and local culinary traditions. The Menu 651 36 min listen The women of Miu Miu Italian luxury label Miu Miu has reported a 105 per cent rise in revenues – growing at a time when the majority of its rivals are seeing their sales decline. Part of its success is the way it participates in culture. This year the brands partnered with Art Basel Paris, bringing its ongoing ‘Women’s Tales’ film series to life with an exhibition that blended film, music, choreography and fashion. Natalie Theodosi speaks with one of the exhibition’s curators, Goshka Macuga and two of its filmmakers, Meriem Bennani and Haifa Al Mansour to understand the brand’s global appeal.
