Every collection tells a story.

"Good art communicates ideas – good design serves function, and the story this creates is inspiring."

– Ross Didier

about

The Didier Design Studio has long intuited a world where art meets design, craft blends with engineering and utilitarianism embraces luxury. The result is one of Australia’s most eclectic and exciting design studios with a 30 year oeuvre of work that continually blurs lines between sculptural aesthetics and designed function.

Designer Ross Didier begins with a creative concept that can be inspired by simple folk tales, the idea of functional pets, the Rise-and-Fall of Empires or as with the PUFFALO Lounging collection, inspired by the exotic explorations of Africa and Asia.

Studying both Industrial Design and Fine-Art Sculpture at RMIT, Didier always saw furniture design as the closest commercial connection to sculpture.

Open to boundless manufacturing techniques, materials, and ways of thinking. Creating original prototypes by hand and working with a wide range of skills to take concept to reality. Didier then collaborates with a wide range of other skilled craftspeople and factories to take the concept into reality.

“Art and design are very different, and I feel very aware of sliding the bar between them. Design is Shaolin kung Fu where Art is bare knuckle fist fighting. I mean artists can do whatever they want for their art and this liberation is the point of what they do. Design on the other hand has disciplines with givens, and to ignore these misses the point of designing. Good art communicates ideas – good design serves function, and the story this creates is inspiring.”
