Behind The Design - The Italian Collection, Part 1

Every design tells a story, and our exclusive Italian Collection is a deeply personal one. We invite you behind the scenes to discover how this outdoor fabric collaboration was brought to life.

The Italian collection is a range of beautiful outdoor fabric that we've designed in our Australian studio, and making in Italy.

We've partnered with an incredible factory in Italy that has a rich history in fabric manufacturing, making outdoor fabrics for over 80 years. If you're looking at pictures of Italian beach clubs, there's a pretty good chance that it's their work!

This fabric collection is all about celebrating summer and appreciating good design. We like to think we've brought an Australian lens to a distinctly Italian product.

This is a very personal collection for me, but it's not just about my family heritage. It's about celebrating a rich history in design and manufacturing in Italy.

After World War II, there was a lot of migration from southern Italy to Australia, so there's a bunch of people out there - just like me - who have strong ties to this region.

The collection is not just about my family heritage. It's about celebrating a rich history in design and manufacturing in Italy, and bringing European design excellence to our corner of the world.
