“I look forward to leveraging my experience to drive growth and collaborate on new challenges in a familiar and dynamic environment”   Design Nation is thrilled to welcome back a DNA alumnus to the team. Janis Lo was a valued member of DNA for over 8 years before branching out to other fields in the industry. But her passion for designer furniture and the DNA brands has enticed her back. Janis is taking on the role of Client Relationship Director and we couldn’t be happier to have her back on board.   We had a quick chat with Janis to find out more about what she’s been up to and what she’s looking forward to. #designnation #welcomeback #teamlove #newleadership #clientrelationships #customerservice #biggerandbetter #bigideas #interiors 💛

PRESS RESTART... Design Nation has recently gone through an extremely uncertain period. During this time, many difficult decisions had to be made. The main decision was determining whether our presence in the Australian designer market could be retained and sustained. It is fair to say that the last month was challenging on many levels, not least emotionally on both our team and our valued clients. So, it is with great pleasure that we announce that a buyer has stepped in to ensure we not only meet our obligations to staff, customers and suppliers, but also that we can continue to provide the same quality products and services Design Nation has always been known for. We’d like to thank everyone who reached out to us in person or online to share their love and support, and to our many customers who waited patiently for us to find a resolution. We look forward to touching base over the following weeks and months to reconnect and work with you all once again. For now, we have closed down our Redfern showroom, but we still have plenty of samples and swatches to send out to you if needed. #designnation #pressrestart #backonboard #thankyou #staytuned #moretocome #wellbeintouch #designerfurniture #furniture #design #interiors #interiordesign

“Only those who believe in a better future are able to build it” In a time of great uncertainty and political turmoil, five young friends got together to start something that would provide long term stability and security for not just themselves but for their entire region. With an activist heart, French furniture manufacturer Alki has built its success on four pillars: Cooperative Culture, Perennity, Know-How, and Creativity. Design Nation is proud to bring Alki to our Australian designers and architects - people who believe in and value social equity and environmental sustainability. #fromdesignnation #alki #alkifurniture #cooperative #culture #perennity #knowhow #creativity #design #longevity #environmentalsustainability #socialequity

ZEITRAUM VISIT TO SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE Last week we had the pleasure of hosting our Zeitraum GmbH account manager, Holger Bajak, in both Sydney and Melbourne. Along with providing us with information on the latest product releases - and some sneaky peeks at what's about to be released - Holger also had the opportunity to meet and present to a number of our clients. As exclusive distributors of Zeitraum in Australia, our relationship with them is one of mutual regard and respect. For Design Nation it is especially rewarding to represent a manufacturer whose commitment to environmentally sustainable design and manufacturing is transparent in everything they do. Thank you to our many clients who helped us ensure Holger's visit was both fruitful and enjoyable - Hare + Klein, Bradhly Le, Hammond Studio Pty Ltd, Mitchell & Eades, Woods Bagot, Susie Miles, Manuel Canestrini, Formanova Pty Ltd, christopher connell, Leftfield Studio
