Living Edge Perth recently hosted an evening of conversation exploring how collectible design, art and personal collections come together to shape distinctive interiors.
An exploration of the relationship between collectible design, art and the objects that give a home its character.
Last week, Perth’s design community came together at our Queen St showroom for ‘Design, Art and The Collector’, an evening of conversation exploring the ideas, influences and personal perspectives that shape the way we collect and live with design and art.
Moderated by Elizabeth Clarke, Features Director at Havenist, the discussion brought together Amy Clark of Amy Clark Studio, artist Olive Gill-Hille and Olivier David, Founder and Director of OFFMARKET Gallery, to consider the relationship between collectible design, art and personal expression.

The conversation explored how collections evolve over time, from the individual pieces that capture our attention to the stories, experiences and influences that inform what we choose to live with.
It also considered the role of furniture, art and objects in shaping an interior, and how the considered combination of different forms, materials and perspectives can create spaces that feel distinctly personal.
Poring over beautiful furniture on the page is inspiring, but sitting among it is a real luxury. We loved giving Havenist readers and our design community the chance to hear from our panel while experiencing iconic pieces in real life.

Together, the discussion highlighted that collecting is about more than individual objects. It is an ongoing expression of personal taste, creative perspective and the connections we form with the things around us.
