Hello!
My name is Matt Allison.
I go by many titles with over a decade of experience in the design industry. My work has been featured in various lifestyle publications including Home, House & Leisure, Elle Decoration, VISI, Real Estate, Good Taste & The Sunday Times.
Based in Sydney, Australia my approach to interior styling and design is clean and timeless. I believe in creating spaces that are simple and functional, yet practical enough to deal with the ever-growing demands of daily life.
Thank you for visiting.

Oh Deer!
If your pins look anything like mine you’ll start to notice themes: a word, a title an image etc.
I tend to ‘pin now, savour later’ and find that even within these larger themes are sub themes, in today’s case, deer and antlers.
These pics represent ‘collections’ I enjoy, all of which have Bambi’s relatives in them.

Dansk you very much!
I was poking around a local thrift store today and spotted this Dansk style cast iron candle holder and snapped it up for R15.00 ($2USD).
It’s Japanese made and clearly inspired by the late Jens Quistgaard who founded Dansk International Designs with American entrepreneur Ted Nierenberg in the 1950’s.
The design has become known as ‘The Spider’ and I own one of the originals, as seen in the pic above in the background.
This Japanese one is a little more angular in form, but I love it and for R15.00 I’m not complaining!
I plan to collect a few more as budget allows and display them one day as a collection, much like many do over the much lauded Dansk Kobenstyle pots.

Then of course there are Jen’s classic teak coolers. They just scream ‘party at your place’.
