World class style and functionality
Schiavello is an enduring champion of Australian-made design.
That's why Schiavello and Hecker Guthrie’s collaboration on the Melbourne showroom stands forth as one of the country’s best exemplars of design thinking.
From seating to shelving and tables, Schiavello’s retail offerings are on par with its commercial and contract lines, bringing the world-class style, functionality and innovation that designers already know and love.
The showroom’s emphasis on natural light and open plan living is attuned to the direction residential design appears to be headed: bright, airy interiors in which spaces melt into one another. And the memory? It’s the discrete charm of creative, thoughtful design. Design, that is, to articulate the future.
Curated collection of luxe Schiavello pieces
For the Melbourne retail showroom, clean design lines and volumes nest together in a layered assemblage of luxe materials including leather, velvet, glass, and timber. A natural palette of white rendered walls and natural oak flooring is offset by moss green and light grey carpet, cream leather, and a meticulously curated collection of new Schiavello pieces. Thanks to full-height façade and a corner frontage, the entire space is bathed in warm, bright natural light.
Infusing international design trends and innovation
Worldwide, the Schiavello name is synonymous with serious design credentials: amassing an impressive portfolio of high-profile projects over the years and having worked with a number of architecture and interior design heavyweights. With the launch of its Melbourne flagship retail space, the brand establishes an all-new visual and design language.
Schiavello is uniquely positioned on the global design stage, infusing international design trends and innovation with a distinctive Australian pragmatism and flair. Consequently, it’s little wonder that for its retail showroom project Schiavello sought the expertise of a like-minded brand. As one of this country’s most vaunted design duos, Hecker Guthrie has remained at the top echelon of Australian design since 1999.
We sought to bring an architectural sensibility to the new Schiavello retail showroom, enhancing and augmenting the existing space with a play of different shapes and forms to draw attention to its contemporary context.
