What inspires you?

Beautiful coastal walks, textures, colours, creative design, all things French! I love working on a project from the initial discussions on how to bring a space to life with table settings or cleverly thought out bundles, and planters for greenery and shade with our new ChillOUT Trees, to bring a community together and enhance the space. It’s wonderful to see the options available by creating renders to be able to visualise the space and then finally seeing the finished project in situ is very rewarding.

Your favourite product and why?

It is hard to choose a favourite from the range, I have to say both Aria and Linea are equally on the top of my list. The Aria range offers a modular furniture system that works so well across places to relax, work, dine or play and the new Linea range is sleek and minimalist in sturdy stainless steel frame.

 

Aria Seating System (CMA) and Linea Cube (LIC6) with Bush Cherry battens, Monument and Lycra Strip frame.
The Linea suite includes Seat, Bench, Table, Lookout Table, Platform, Sun Lounge, Bicycle Stand, and Bollard.

Wicking beds keep plants healthy and save water and labour

Linea Planters and Frame Planters are keeping plants healthy while reducing maintenance costs, thanks to wicking beds. Wicking beds by WaterUps save up to 80% of water when compared with traditional drip irrigation. According to WaterUps, watering is only necessary every two weeks in summer, decreasing to four weeks in autumn and six weeks in winter.  Wollongong City Council first installed wicking beds in their planters in 2019. Before installation the Council’s gardeners were watering their plants two to three times a week.  “Now, when it gets warm, we’re probably just doing it once a week, depending on what’s in there and how big the pot is,” says Wollongong Council horticulturist Peter Parsons. There are currently 240 planters across Wollongong CBD maintained by the council, with about 90% watered with …

UNSW Student Design Competition: Fostering Innovation in Industrial Design

Street Furniture Australia has a long history of design and research collaborations with the University of NSW. Francis McArdle, our Head of Product Design is a Casual Tutor at UNSW – a role which is valuable in maintaining strong ties between our industry and the University.

How did this Street Furniture Australia/UNSW collaboration come about? The competition was held during Term 1 this year, with students from Industrial Design Studio 2A, which I was a casual tutor in supporting the course convenor. Their Studio project was centred on “Design for Public Space,” with students asked to design a new bike rack. …

Trend Watch July 2024

The New York High Line opened 15 years ago – what lessons has it taught us? This month marks the 15th anniversary of The High Line – New York’s 1.5-mile-long park built on a historical freight line on Manhattan’s west side. The High Line has become an iconic New York place, with planting design by Piet Oudolf. Marking its 15th Anniversary, New York Times writer Margaret Roach explores lessons the The High Line has taught us “With its unique man-made garden beds 30 feet above street level, filled with only an 18-inch layer of soil”. Roach writes, “There are ten horticulturists up there trying to foresee the plants’ every move. They work to respect Mr. Oudolf’s artistic and ecological intentions without being unrealistic about how insistent the forces of natural …
