Cult Design brings Design Icon to Australian Design

admin by admin
February 17, 2023
in Architecture News


Curated by fabulous Australian creatives such as William Smart, Arent&Pyke, Hare+Klein, KPDO, SJB and Habitus’ very own Aleesha Callahan the selections – while all iconic – are each a reflection of the design mind at the heart of the creative.

The Lampe de Marseille, Le Corbusier’s design of 1949 for example, speaks directly to the elegance and conscience we have come to know of Kirsten Stanisich (Richards Stanisich).

“The Nemo Lampe de Marseille light is a wonderful light fixture. It’s mind-blowing to think that it was created almost 75 years ago yet still remains so relevant to our own era of contemporary design. Ironically while Le Corbusier strode to reject previous historical architectural styles in his work it is the heritage value of the fitting that is one of the many beautiful things that we have embraced. Because of this, it has retained a value for re-use to align with current sustainable principles making this piece a true design icon,” says Stanisich.

Selecting the PH5 light designed by Poul Henningsen and manufactured by Louis Poulsen, Adam Haddow, SJB Director says: “The PH5 is to lighting what Madonna is to music – lasting and still innovative.”

Indeed, the exhibition showcases 25 of the world’s most recognisable furniture and lighting designs by Hans Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, Le Corbusier, Verner Panton, Achille Castiglioni and more.

“At Cult we are proud to advocate for authentic design and the value of investing in original design icons. We are passionate about sharing the surprising stories behind the world’s most recognisable design icons and the legendary designers behind them,” shares Richard Munao, Cult Founder and CEO.

Each icon is presented alongside personal anecdotes from the selecting curator. Curators include influential designers from Smart Design Studio, KPDO, Arent&Pyke, Richards Stanisich, Hare+Klein, SJB, Futurespace and Decus; to editors from Yellowtrace, The Design Files, Vogue Living, Habitus, Australian Financial Review, The Local Project and Est Living; to leading stylists Claire Delmar and Megan Morton; fashion designer Lee Mathews, among others prominent influencers in the Australian design industry.

Cult will host three exclusive guided sessions with Richard Munao giving visitors the opportunity to discuss the importance of, and influences behind, original design. Sessions last for approximately 30 minutes and are bookable via Eventbrite here.

“People often ask me: Why buy original? Why are design icons so expensive? One of our core values is to buy once, buy well. We believe in longevity and investing in design that will stand the test of time, both in craftsmanship and aesthetics. The icons are timeless and transcend all kinds of interiors; they aren’t about a trend or particular style. Royalties go to the families of the designers, and the craftsmanship, materials and quality control are the best in the world.”

In addition to the exhibition, Cult invites exhibition visitors to release their creativity to win an iconic Flowerpot VP9 Portable Lamp by Verner Panton. A shortlist will be selected by the exhibition curators on 1st March, and the final winner then chosen by Cult’s CEO, Richard Munao, shortly after and announced via Instagram.
