When Space launched its Melbourne flagship in 1999, the brief to architecture firm Woods Bagot was to create a destination for the world’s best furniture brands within an architectural envelope and a series of beautifully designed interiors. It was an approach developed in Sydney, Brisbane, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur too and it would define the way Space's predominantly Italian design brands would be experienced outside the design showrooms of Milan.
Like their Milanese counterparts, Space showrooms have become a place for the design community to meet and mingle with international guests and clients and experience first-hand the latest products and ideas from around the world. After 20 years, the need to rethink aspects of the Melbourne showroom’s interior translated into a brief that would carefully weave in respect for the original design while adding new material layers and services within the framework of the original architecture.
We invite you take a 3D virtual tour of our Melbourne showroom, where you can explore the fresh new interiors and the latest collections from Milan. Our design consultants are available to guide you through the virtual tour, and our showroom doors are open too so you are also welcome to join us in-store.
Next month we will share insights from the design collaboration with Melbourne studio DesignOffice.
“Our Melbourne clients have a very sophisticated understanding of design and their incredible support for the design community has been instrumental in making such a success of the Melbourne showroom."
