Welcome to the world of Space

Eternally Yours x Iva Foschia

Drawn to textural, informal and tactile forms, the work of Iva Foschia combines interiors and furniture that play off form and compress space through 'careful placement and minimal arrangements to create rhythm and tension.' For Eternally Yours, More Space catches up with Iva to discuss the sensory impact of colour and texture, her go-to design pieces, and her studio's recently completed transformation of a former church into an 'elevated and luxurious' residence.

The culture of circularity 

The design industry is harnessing design circularity as a key step to reducing waste and, in turn, carbon emissions. From the Bio Componibili to the Smart Wood Collection and Camaleonda, Kartell and B&B Italia are redesigning classics using technological innovation and sustainable materials to develop collections that use the bare minimum of materials and energy.

Eternally Yours – visions on product endurance

The more a design connects with us, the more likely we are to make it part of our lives and pass it on. Buy once, buy well, is a core component of circular design thinking and central to Space’s philosophy. As Ed van Hinte remarks in the book ‘Eternally Yours: visions on product endurance’, 'Objects should somehow express that throwing them away is a crying sin at all times.'

Space's sustainability journey 

Measuring the carbon footprint from energy consumption to materials across its supply chains, Space is on a sustainability journey that began with a full transport audit and the collection of product data on materials and brands. Understanding each step of a design's development will allow Space to consciously source environmental options and create a flow-on effect for industry and clients.

Monica Armani on design that refreshes the soul

Eternally Yours – Aaron Wooster

Embracing views to the Sydney Opera House and The Royal Botanic Gardens, the building's softly sculptural form responds to the beauty found in the surrounding landscape.

Eight sofas that will change the way you live

What started back in the late 17th century as a stretched-out armchair to accommodate the commodious dresses of the time, slowly grew longer and longer to serve more and more people. Flash forward to the 1970’s and everything changed. With an emphasis on a more casual way of living and the rejection of sofas that forced users to sit side-by-side in a long row, innovative 70’s designers like Mario Bellini and Cini Boeri used modularity to create more organic and flexible sofa concepts with no limits to size or shape. This radical approach still works wonders today. The 'upholstered landscape' allows for a range of sitting and lying positions, making it possible to work, rest and play, without leaving the comfort of the lounge room.
