Summer Socials

Whether entertaining indoors or out, creatively designed furniture and accessories are always a talking point.

Round and About

Renowned French designer Jean-Marie Massaud has teamed up with design brand Vondom to create the Milos Collection, picking up the prestigious Red Dot 2024 Design Award. We love the curved, pebble-like shapes inspired by nature, and the Iroko wood feet peeking out from underneath. This clever modular system can be set up in several different combinations to suit the size of your space and every occasion.P Style Feb2025 Insights C15 Curated Spaces 01Vondom Milos Collection by Jean-Marie Massaud, from $61,958, from UFL Group.

An Extra Mile For Tile

Wanting a unique tile solution that’s a real talking point? Palet Tiles allow you to create your own tile design which is then custom made in the Netherlands. First, select two glaze colours – and if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, the Palet team can make a colour especially for you. Select your pattern and mix, then match and flip the tiles however you please to create your own unique design. Approve the samples and voilà, your own personalised floor, wall, bathroom or splashback is on its way.P Style Feb2025 Insights C15 Curated Spaces 02Palet Tiles, from $995+GST per m2, from Design Central.

Luxe Lounge

It’s difficult to find a sun lounger that combines looks with function and gives you that resort style at home. The King Cove reclining sun lounges have a chic, modern design teamed with a clever circular latch that allows you to adjust the seat without getting up or reaching around – genius. The seats are upholstered in Sunbrella fabric so you can customise the colour.P Style Feb2025 Insights C15 Curated Spaces 03

In or out

The Tao Outdoor Coffee Table by Italian design house Bontempi features three folded, tapered legs and a round, lacquered metal top, lending a more architectural look to your outdoor (or indoor) spaces than traditional furniture.P Style Feb2025 Insights C15 Curated Spaces 04

In The House

Soho House is an international private members' club with a focus on the media, arts and fashion industries. Part of the network is 180 House in London, a club set in a Brutalist building with an outdoor terrace, a rooftop pool, a restaurant and two bars featuring 1970s-inspired interiors. The Giovanni Table Lamp is inspired by 180 House and is crafted from coloured glass with a glossy, domed shade to help recreate the soft, ambient atmosphere.P Style Feb2025 Insights C15 Curated Spaces 05

Table Talk

Giro is a refined collection of outdoor furniture designed by Vincent Van Duysen for the Kettal brand. The collection includes a club chair and dining chair, folding chair, sofa, tables and coffee tables all suitable for outdoor use, but beautiful and tactile enough to work perfectly indoors, too. Rope, wood and ceramic combine to create a natural, inviting atmosphere, and you can choose from different wood and ceramic top finishes.

Day club

Looking at this classic club chair you might think it’s destined for a living room or hotel lobby, but this clever design is made to withstand the elements. We love the elegant shape that looks so chic in fully upholstered white. Team it with the stunning Praia Outdoor Sofa and the Melbourne Cocktail Table in teak to add natural warmth and texture to your outdoor setting.P Style Feb2025 Insights C15 Curated Spaces 07

Good grounding

In a celebration of craftsmanship, renowned studio glass artist Dale Chihuly has collaborated with The Rug Company on a second collection entitled Masterpieces II. Inspired by Chihuly’s glass oeuvre, these four rugs challenge the notion of textile craft by capturing the fluidity, energy and translucency of glasswork through wool and silk.P Style Feb2025 Insights C15 Curated Spaces 08
