Design For Mankind. The Design Files. Inside Out - Homelife. By Inside Out You may notice something extra with the latest issue of Inside Out (out tomorrow). Our November/December edition comes with a Secret Decorators' Guide, enveloped in a not-so-secretive pink cover, with gorgeous embroidery by Tamara Maynes.
This nifty guide is filled with picks, references and lifelong recommendations by design, gardening and architecture experts. There is lots to discover and one of my favourite finds is from Cassandra Hill, who runs the Collectiv design firm. In her contact book is Kevin Burnett, who runs Melbourne-based The Red Falcon, experts in bespoke sculptural architecture. Kevin has been running the company since 1986, and came to this work from an arts/graphic design background.
His hardest job involved a stainless-steel and glass walkway bridge over a swimming pool in Darling Point Sydney, but even the most complicated assignments don't phase Kevin. Lee Tran, deputy chief sub-editor. Decor8. Oh Joy! Bloesem.
