Milan in review: Georgina Wilson’s Viral Approach to Architecture 1:04:33

vor 3 Tagen1:04:33

1:04:33

Architect Georgina Wilson joins us to share her remarkable journey from traditional practice to social media phenomenon. What began as a simple experiment on TikTok — "because no one I knew was on it" — unexpectedly transformed her 25-year architectural career and business model. Today, her viral design content reaches hundreds of thousands of followers, and her firm operates "as if from the moon," providing virtual design consultations to clients worldwide. Georgina's success stems from her refreshingly straightforward approach. Frustrated by how architects typically communicate only with other designers through meaningless jargon, she decided to speak directly to what she affectionately calls "normies" — everyday people who want to understand good design without the pretension. Her content breaks down complex design principles into accessible advice, often featuring floor plans that visually demonstrate why certain layouts work better than others. Fresh from Milan Design Week, Georgina shares how her perspective has evolved from viewing design through a personal lens to approaching it journalistically, seeking stories that would interest her audience. She was particularly captivated by innovations in lighting design, discovering how new technologies can influence behavior and create versatility in spaces. What makes Georgina's approach truly inspiring is her philosophy of authenticity and continuous improvement. "It's gotta be shit before it's good," she explains, describing how this mindset frees her from perfectionism and encourages experimentation. This authenticity extends to her design principles — "Interior design is not fashion. If anything, it's anti-fashion" — emphasizing creating environments that remain beautiful and functional for decades, not seasons.

The Milan in review series: Sculpting Light with Oliver Wilcox 49:04

The Milan in review series: Sculpting Light with Oliver Wilcox What happens when an artist turns lighting designer? Oliver Wilcox's journey from fine arts graduate to founder of the cutting-edge Lost Profile Studio reveals the magic that occurs at the intersection of art and function. Oliver's story begins with a fortuitous volunteer position at Christopher Boots' lighting studio that evolved into managing production for one of Australia's most innovative lighting designers. But it was during a trip to Paris when everything clicked into place. Standing before a portrait painting in the famed Paris Fleas antique market, Oliver discovered the concept of "profil perdu" – lost profile – a challenging technique where artists capture someone's likeness without showing their face. This became both his studio name and design philosophy: embedding profound meaning into minimal forms. His latest collection, Carapace, showcases this philosophy brilliantly. Inspired by both antique candle reflectors and turtle shells, these cast metal pieces create ambient light through reflection rather than direct illumination. The collection spans from intimate incense burners to dramatic chandeliers, each piece custom-designed down to the screws. "I wanted to push myself," Oliver explains, detailing how Carapace represents multiple firsts in his design practice. What truly distinguishes Oliver's work is the tension he creates between seemingly opposing qualities. His pieces are simultaneously brutalist yet delicate, industrial yet elegant. This distinctive approach has earned him representation across Australia, the United States, and Europe, with his third Milan Design Week exhibition cementing his place on the global design stage. For those fascinated by the creative process or looking to break into international design markets, Oliver's insights on finding exhibition spaces in Milan, building international relationships, and staying true to artistic vision over commercial appeal offer invaluable guidance. Listen now and discover how Australian designers are making serious waves internationally.

The Design Anatomy Tour Recap: What Paris and Milan Can Teach Us 46:50

vor 17 Tagen46:50

46:50

Welcome back for Season 2 of The Design Anatomy podcast ! After our incredible travel adventure with a fabulous group of design enthusiasts on our very first Design Anatomy Tour, we're buzzing to share what we discovered & experienced abroad. Stepping into private Parisian and Milanese apartments was truly a pinch-us experience. From artist, Paul Mouginot's classic pre-Haussmann apartment to Architect & designer Sophie Dries ' home in Paris, to Christian and Francesco's colour-drenched Milan apartment and the stunning former villa curated by the Droulers Architecture sisters – each space revealed secrets that photos simply cannot capture. These weren't just beautiful homes; they were masterclasses in spatial planning and cultural approaches to living. The European approach turns Australian apartment design conventions upside down. Instead of knocking down walls for open-plan living, they embrace separate rooms that create distinct zones for specific purposes. Their kitchens exist as dedicated spaces rather than extensions of living areas. Dining spaces take precedence, reflecting the cultural importance of gathering for meals. Strategic use of mirrors, thoughtful lighting (no sea of downlights!), and brave applications of colour all worked together to create spaces with true character and depth. What stayed with us wasn't just the beautiful design, but how these spaces reflected a fundamentally different philosophy about apartment living. Europeans aren't trying to emulate larger homes in smaller spaces – they're celebrating the unique qualities of apartment life through intelligent design choices that prioritize function, beauty and sociability. As Australia builds more apartments, perhaps it's time we looked beyond our shores for inspiration on creating spaces that truly work. Want to experience these incredible private apartments for yourself? Our exclusive Milan/Paris tour returns in 2026, and we're heading to London this September!
