We had an incredible evening at Naala Badu for Late Night Wednesdays! This should be high on everyone’s list of must-see Sydney galleries, it’s a work of art in itself. The architecture creates a perfect blend of openness and transparency, seamlessly connecting with the landscape and anchored by a spectacular 150m rammed earth wall (see this IndesignLive article).⁠

The name Naala Badu means ‘seeing waters’ in the Sydney language as the building overlooks the harbour. Interestingly, the original Art Gallery building, which faces the city and parklands, has been named Naala ...

It’s fig season and we are big fans! Everything about them is luscious. Their form and colour, to texture and flavour.

We also think they’d look mighty fine served on a Calacatta Viola vein.

Beauty in the details, shaped by time and nature. A few impressive specimens from Jack’s jaunt to Bullimah Beach in Killcare, NSW

Whether it’s negronis in Tokyo, a spritz in Lisbon or kicking back in our hometown...we are partial to cocktail-savouring* (and snapping) with friends.

Creative block can feel like the road from Aswan to Abu Simbel... but we found the palette for an upcoming project.
