Andrew Martin are now accepting submissions for the Andrew Martin Interior Designer of the Year award. This is a wonderful opportunity for our clients to showcase the very best of Australian and New Zealand interior design on an international stage. Finalists will be included in the venerated Design Review book, a must-have publication for the interior design industry.

All entries need to be with Andrew Martin by 20 December. Click HERE to see the entry form which includes the application requirements.

We've had numerous antipodean finalists over the years - it's always such a thrill to see our clients' work showcased and celebrated. Best of luck to all of you who enter. We are long overdue an antipodean overall winner!

New next week - Above the Clouds!

03 October 2025

Some exciting news for Monday (6 October): It's release-day for Above the Clouds, Carlucci's 2025 collection of fabrics and wallcoverings. And what a singular collection it is!
As the name suggests the Carlucci designers have beautifully captured the ever-changing splendor of the skyscape with dreamy layered colours, filigree textures and dynamic patterning. The wallcoverings in particular have really caught our eye. If you are looking for statement grasscloths when do check out the Shapes of Beauty book.
Above the Clouds is another fabulous example of Carlucci's 'relaxed glamour' that is never boring, always elegant and wonderfully tactile. 
See the Above the Clouds brochure HERE. See the collection page HERE.

Introducing Salone - Houlès latest

11 September 2025

We were so excited to hear about this: Houlès and Michael Aiduss have teamed up again for their second collaboration, called Salone. True to form it’s another stunning collection of elegant, characterful passementerie.
Salone is inspired by early Italian modernist architecture and offers a diverse range of looks - from botanical motifs, to hints of classicism and Ponti-esque geometrics. If you’re a fan of passementerie and the magical things it can do to an interior then call into a Unique showroom and see Salone.
Our Account Managers and Agents look forward to introducing you to this beautiful collection.
