Michael Boer

Michael sees interior design as an incredibly personal profession. He says every project should be a holistic solution between client and designer, and “to detach the people from the work is to take the soul out fo design”. To find the best solution to problems there has to be collaboration. Michael believes design is a physical representation of a conglomeration of strangers each specialising in entirely separate fields putting their heads together, thinking, and coming out with a solution.

Elliot Hall

Elliott’s work is inspired by his experiences in a nature and aims to translate natural energy and movement into sculptural works that focus on equality in the form and function. He explores collective connection to nature though creating interactive organic forms that reflect cultural, social and emotional values that evoke a personal response in the user. Sustainability is also a key part of his design considerations, through utlising sustainably-sourced materials and focusing on mazimising usage to minimise waste.

She also credits travel and eating-out as major vechiles for inspiring her design imagination and creativity. In particular, she likes to pull the threads together of traditional, classical and modern design elements where suitable to tell a story and bring connection in a seamless way.
