ORIGINE celebrates the convergence of unconventional ideology and master craftsmanship, placing importance on highlighting materiality and narrative.

In interpreting contemporary culture a visual language is expressed through the curation of a timeless offering across furniture, lighting, rugs + objects. It is a judicious mix of historic and contemporary works across limited and open editions that hail from throughout Italy and also Lisbon, Rotterdam and New Delhi.

The collection is seasoned by independent studios, multidisciplinary practices and also established brands working with prominent designers. For many, new generations continue the family legacy of artisanal craft with a contemporary key. In this way the collection manifests an endless passing of the baton from past to future.

Based in Melbourne, founders Alice Rossi and Joel Donaldson work throughout Australia proposing furnishings that serve as diverse layers of importance for both residential and commercial environments.
