Luxxbox and Steendyk recognised in IDEA
Two well-known local names have been shortlisted in this year’s Object – Furniture & Lighting category in the Interior Design Excellence Awards, with winners announced this Friday November 15.
Designed to suit both the decks of an elite cruise ship or the back courtyard of a classic Queenslander, Luxxbox’s Calcium furniture range boasts crisp, pure lines and an eco soul. The six-piece collection was designed to inject a fresh blast of cool into any indoor or outdoor space. Created from recycled HDPE, the Calcium range sees one chair make use of 157 recycled milk bottles. The collection includes a dining table, dining chair with or without arms, a bar stool in two heights, an ottoman, side table and a relaxed single lounge chair. Locally manufactured in Brisbane, this Luxxbox creation is 100% UV resistant and hardwearing.
Steendyk’s Coral collection has been designed with both indoor and outdoor use in mind, and is configurable to different spaces. The bench can be assembled in an all-connecting circular configuration, or taken apart and rearranged to fit allocated spaces for events or specific occasions. Built with integrated seating and a backrest, the bench also features planters and a self-watering system, handy for the design mind who is not so green of thumb.
