Catalyst Workplace Activation’s Post

The Back Story Since founding Helen Kontouris Design in 2001, I've partnered with distinguished clients like Alessi, De Padova, and Kundalini in Italy, Schiavello, Stylecraft, and Space Furniture in Australia, Manufacturas Celda in Spain, and Ritzenhoff in Germany. These collaborations have enriched my design journey, blending international influences with my creative vision. My designs are inspired by daily observations and interactions with objects, coupled with insights from my travels. Known for using contrasting materials, my work is often seen as both feminine and sculpturally innovative, encouraging exploration and a deeper sensory connection. In our studio, we foster a culture of creativity and dreams. Each project is an adventure in learning, evolving, and innovating, focused on building strong, creative partnerships that contribute to our clients' growth. Challenging conventional design, we aim to discover new possibilities, always mindful of the client's vision. Our role as designer is not to give you the safe or predictable result. We sometimes challenge and redefine the project to enable us to explore the possibilities we strongly believe in, whilst always respecting the client’s decision. We believe ecology in design today, rests on the role of the designer as cultural architect, creating products with clear purpose, intelligent material appropriateness, and function that arrest you with their beauty and promote a movement ‘against throwawayism’."

Design, at its core, is the art of enabling functionality to seamlessly blend with aesthetics, creating a harmonious symphony of purpose and beauty. 🖤 • • • #MandyLiCollection #LuxuryLiving #InteriorDesign

Some escapism vibes before we enter the weekend. 💚 While design trends evolve, the essence of great design remains constant: a harmonious blend of color, mix of texture, and play of shapes. It all comes together to create beauty that stands the test of time. ✨Don't you agree? Design: @dabito #designinspo #tileinspiration #bathroominspiration #greenbathroom #marblebathroom

Aesthetic Appeal:  Develop a cohesive design aesthetic that reflects your personal style and preferences. Choose colours, materials, and finishes that harmonise with your vision while creating visual interest and appeal. #virtualdesign #designvisualization #goldcoastrealestate #buildingdesign #contemporarydesign #constructioninnovation #newhomebuild #designeducation #buildingexterior

At the beginning of each year, there are always discussions around trends. However, at Pirajean Lees, we feel very strongly that our work should not be swayed by prevailing and sometimes fleeting design trends. Instead, we take a holistic approach to design and start projects by NOT designing. Instead, we prioritise the development of a strong narrative that serves as the foundation for each project. This narrative becomes the canvas upon which we articulate a compelling story through design, giving each project a unique identity. Our inspiration may come from art, fashion, culture or history. By rooting our designs in a strong narrative, rather than focusing on aesthetics, we aim to create spaces that will withstand the test of time. We have a passion for detail, which inspires us to design every element of our projects, from the overall narrative to bespoke furnishings and accessories. We love to use natural materials and rich textures, and celebrate craftsmanship wherever possible. #narrativedesign #designstudio #designapproach #interiorarchitecture

At The Sama Team, we believe that every space should be a reflection of its owner's personality. Our goal is to create environments that are not just functional but also deeply personal. Understanding Your Vision We start by understanding your vision and preferences. It's not just about colors and materials; it's about capturing the essence of who you are. Tailored Design Solutions Every design choice we make is tailored to your individual style and needs. From bespoke furniture to custom color palettes, we ensure that each element of the design is uniquely you. Attention to Detail It's the little things that make a big difference. Our attention to detail means that every aspect of the space is thoughtfully considered and executed. Creating Emotional Connections We aim to create spaces that do more than serve a function—they evoke feelings, memories, and a sense of belonging. The Sama Team Experience With The Sama Team, you're not just redesigning a space; you're crafting an extension of yourself. Let us help you turn your vision into a reality that resonates with your personal story. #TheSamaTeam #CustomDesign #PersonalizedSpaces #AttentionToDetail #EmotionalConnections

When it comes to designing the new space and selecting fabrics and colours, one needs to take the companies CI into account. This is another part of a project that I absolutely love. #design #samples #colours #interiorfitout #corporatedesign #interiordesigner #freelancedesigner #corporateidentity #fabrics

Sometimes, less is best. Clean lines, contemporary and timeless design can make all the difference. Exceptional design doesn't have to be complicated, it just needs to be well curated. But if you don't have the discernment to know how to pull the right elements together, or the right team to turn your vision into a reality, it's wise to consult an expert. Luxury made simple is about committing to excellence and hiring the right team to get the job done right. We have exceptional contractors, a rich resource of materials and the talent to transform even the most drab spacing into something spectacular. Curious about working with an award-winning designer?
