Designed by AD100 practice YSG Studio, the HQ is not just a company base, but a portal into another world; part celestial observatory, part design laboratory and part living mood board.

Arriving within the fashion brand’s new Sydney-based design HQ could be likened to entering a galaxy of limitless imagination. Beneath a constellation of moon pendants ranging from dappled shades of lavender and champagne gold to deeper olive and aubergine, myth and fashion fantasy orbit in a dream-like diaspora.

References to lunar planets, mythological kingdoms, aquatic worlds and folklore were loosely inspired by the company’s renowned print design collaborations with artists, craftspeople and illustrators.

Mystical and divine elements are sprinkled throughout. Greeting guests, a wall mural coated in shimmering mosaics features halfhuman/half-animal forms floating amongst fantastical fauna under a blazing sun. Nearby, a punk-like deity holds court upon a bubblegum pink-stained timber plinth.

Recurring ‘all-seeing’ eye motifs are prominent. Most fantastical is our elliptical custom dining table. Set upon a glossy ruffled pedestal base, we hand-painted its embossed elliptical timber surface in pastel tones, crowning it with a Lazy Susan that forms its pupil.
