More Australian place from desire to inspire, the half-Canadian/half-Australian design blog. (See previous Australia post here.) Above, from the Gore St. Fitzroy neighbourhood of Melbourne. Yes, there’s been a large application of money to these places, but they seem to exceed just money. I’m not even going to try to explain why I like Australian design; it just seems to have a lot of oxygen in it. Below, by designer Sharyn Cairns.

This is the ur-seating platform. Think how many people would gather here at a party, and even Le Chat prefers it. This is from a house in St. Kilda, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. Why is Australian design so cool now? If you’ve ever seen Vogue Living Australia you know what I mean. From desire to inspire.
