Design Anatomy ·

2025/12/17

A city’s design culture doesn’t thrive by accident—it grows because people make generous choices. We sit down with Manuela “Manny” Millan, founder of 'Meanwhile in Melbourne' , interior designer and design manager at Fortis, to map how one person’s curiosity can lift an entire creative community while shaping more livable homes. Manny takes us from her Colombian roots to early retail and visual merchandising, through the “baptism” of first built projects, and into a developer role where apart...

Pantone Picks White, And Designers See Red!

Design Anatomy ·

2025/12/10

The colour world just lit a match and called it neutral. Pantone crowned white as Colour of the Year, and we couldn’t let that pass without a serious debrief. With our friend and designer Jono Fleming, we dig into why a “blank canvas” lands as apathy for many, how politics always sneaks into palettes, and what this choice says about the stories brands tell when the world feels anything but calm. We pull apart the forecasting machine—zeitgeist reading, panel dynamics, and the messy lag betwee...

Studio A.mi: Crafting Interiors With Empathy And Intent

Design Anatomy ·

2025/11/26

What if the secret to better interiors is the same method therapists use to guide change? We sit down with Anouska Milstein of Studio A.mi to unpack a simple framework that reshapes design from the inside out: observe, explain, predict, and then change or improve. It’s a candid, uplifting look at how empathy, psychology, and good systems turn “make it pretty” into “make it personal.” We trace Anouska’s path from psychology lectures to a concept-driven degree and the small practice apprentice...

Art can transform a room faster than any sofa swap, and today we map the exact places we rely on to find pieces that feel personal, joyful, and within reach. We start with the VCA Art Grad Exhibition, a friendly doorway into original art where you can speak to creators, learn what moves you, and buy before prices climb.

We sit down with artists Rowena Martinich and Geoffrey Carran to unpack how a site-responsive palette drawn from bushland greens, clay tones, and marble textures became the foundation for abstract fields, hyper‑real native birds, and crystalline forms that feel born of the place—not pasted on.

Your home changes the moment the lights come on. We unpack how to design that moment with intention—layering pendants, sconces, table lamps and portables—so evenings feel warm, useful and calm without relying on a ceiling full of downlights.

Beautiful Bedrooms: Designing Your Personal Sanctuary

What's the first room visitors see when they enter your home? And what's the last room you typically focus on when decorating? For most of us, the bedroom falls into that second category, becoming an afterthought rather than a priority. Yet this is where we begin and end every day—the most personal space in our homes deserves more attention. In this episode, Lauren and Bree challenge the notion that bedrooms should be plain, white boxes with little personality. They explore how thoughtful co...
