The Edit: A round-up of favourite furniture and objects

Clement Meadmore furniture from Grazia and Co

A friend of mine, who will remain nameless, gave me some slack for my chilli oil pourer choice in last month's round-up. It wasn't her thing, she said. She then showed me her favourite oil pourer, a very rare, very cool, very expensive one by Achille Castiglioni, produced by Alessi but no longer in production. There was no doubt her choice was excellent. But the problem is, it didn't come across my desk in the form of a press release that month, so did not qualify for my round-up list. Of course, I would welcome press releases and samples from the late Castiglioni, but I might be waiting a while. A press release I did receive this month and took great pleasure in receiving, was one from Melbourne furniture designers and manufacturers Grazia and Co. If you're an Australian designer or architect with a clue, you'll be familiar with Clement Meadmore's furniture work from the 1950s. I've seen the famed Corded chair in various exhibitions but never dare sit in it. But now, thanks to Grazia and Co, the iconic Corded Furniture range is available again, having worked with the Meadmore family to bring it back to life after 70 years. This time the collection is enhanced by the introduction of innovative materials and can be enjoyed outdoors.

This Meadmore release feels special, exciting and authentic - which is everything you want from furniture, isn't it? While it's not a cruet set, I hope my nameless friend will enjoy this choice.

Mapa de Suelos stone furniture

Heading over to a different continent now and Peruvian architecture studio RF Studio has created Mapa de Suelos ("Soil Map"), an experimental series of stone inspired by the layered geology of Peru's landscapes. Handcrafted by master stonesman Roberto Román, each piece is unique, taking months to complete. The collection uses Peruvian stones such as marble, travertine and onyx, which is intricately joined based on geological studies of the Andes and Amazon, creating a sculptural, geological jigsaw. It's unlikely this will come to Australia, but when it came across my desk, it made me stop and marvel - and maybe it will for you too.

Bench 01 from Atelier 024

Curated by Nicola Lucas, Atelier 024 is a new Sydney space featuring furniture, art and objects that celebrate craftsmanship, materiality and timeless design. The evolving collection is carefully chosen for its artistry. Lucas has designed a series of new furniture pieces, and my favourite is Bench 01, an interplay of aged bronze and brass that evolves over time, developing a natural patina. The optional mohair upholstered cushion is a nice touch too.

Collecting: Living With Art book from Thames and Hudson

Ah, now for something I can afford - a good book! I've had a flick through this beautiful clothbound book by Kym Elphinstone and loved the rare glimpse inside the homes of some of Australia's most interesting art collectors. Twenty-six homes are featured, with varying art and sculpture collections, from the emerging to the iconic, captured beautifully by photographer Dave Wheeler. Definitely one to add to your library.

Autumn 2025 collection from Sheet Society

Sheet Society's Autumn 2025 Collection combines playful prints, plush textures, and seasonal hues and is designed to evoke nostalgia. The collection features a range of new patterns and prints, including the vintage-inspired Josie Gingham, earthy Maggie Print, and bold Luca Print, which are available in quilt covers, pillowcases and cushions.

Remmy lighting collection from Leah Martin

Australian-born product designer and lighting specialist Leah Martin will soon unveil her new Remmy collection. Since graduating from Hochschule Wismar in Germany and The University of Technology, Martin has gained recognition for her conceptual approach to lighting as a visual experience. Her new Remmy collection draws inspiration from these experimental phases, incorporating materials like aged brass, polished bronze and gold foil accents to create depth and highlight the light. The collection explores the balance between functionality and aesthetics, directing light in various ways, with a clear Bauhaus influence. Named after the French word for rowing, Remmy reflects the movement and dynamic articulation of the light source, emphasizing both form and motion.

Bonnie and Neil's Wool Marle cushions

The Wool Marle cushions from Bonnie and Neil are crafted from chunky mélange boucle wool in beautiful gradient colours. Each cushion is a unique, hand-loomed and hand-dyed piece, heavy, cosy, and textured. These cushions feature a mid-century inspired palette and focus on exceptional craftsmanship, and are part of Bonnie and Neil's extensive Woodlands collection, which celebrates the timless beauty of nature's cycles.
