Earlier today I received an email from Ross Mitchell (Head of International Relationships at Andrew Martin) with the news that they are now accepting submissions for the 2024 Andrew Martin Interior Designer of the Year award.
This award, and the associated publication, is a beautiful celebration of interior design from all corners of the globe. And we are always thrilled to see Australasian designers included as finalists - and perhaps a overall winner one day. It's such a fabulous way to broaden the reach of your practice to an international audience.

The closing date for entries is Saturday 16th December. Click HERE to download the entry form.
Best of luck!
Something for our VIC and Canterbury based clients...
On Wednesday our Melbourne showroom is hosting two presentation sessions of our Spring releases including the glorious Love of Life by Carlucci: 10am and 2.30pm. Please email your RSVP to Chloe and Suzie, letting them know your preferred time slot.
On Thursday it’s Rebecca’s turn in our Mainland Design Centre showroom in Christchurch. Please email your RSVP to her. She looks forward to seeing there.
Have a fabulous weekend everyone.
We're buzzing about this one: Carlucci's 2023 release is here and it's so fabulous! Inspired by the Côte d’Azur, Carlucci's designers have infused this collection with the sights, textures and colours of this beautiful part of the world.
The radiant colours of southern France like hibiscus, azure blue and intense chartreuse shine through, with plenty of sophisticated colour combos and melange yarns.
The prints are show stoppers: We're loving the picturesque scenes in Love of Life, the groovy Coast of Colours and mysterious Stay Forever...
The velvets are stunning - running from elegant smooth looks (Slow Mo Velvet) to distinctive textures like Be Glad and Infinity Velvet...
Of special note are the solution dyed outdoor designs, including a beautiful drapery design (Lightscape) and chunky upholsteries...
We've selected the opulent embroidery Palm Bay as our showroom display drops...
I've really only scratched the surface here - with 48 different designs Love of Life is broad and full of surprises. You can see the Love of
Life brochure HERE for
more inspiration. In the coming weeks we will be adding the collection to the website so stay tuned!
I'm sure you all know this by now but just in case!... Industry on Arthur is happening Thursday evening. It's always a fabulous night and we can't wait to see you here (18 Arthur Street). Our Spring releases are a must-see. Carlucci's 2023 collection 'Love of Life' alone is worth dropping by for. Here are a few images to whet your design appetite...
See you Thursday!
Please note that due to Air NZ flight changes Joanne has moved her showing to the earlier time of 11am. She's looking forward to seeing you at our Auckland showroom on Thursday.
Here's something for clients in the Auckland region. Next Thursday I'll be presenting the glorious new Spring release from Carlucci: Love of Life. Invitations are heading to your inbox this morning. Please send in your RSVP as soon as you can. This is a lunch presentation so numbers are very limited.
Along side Carlucci's latest I'll be showing new designs from Arte Contract and our own stock releases, including our limited edition Artisan Stripes. I look forward to seeing you at the Auckland showroom - 27 Burleigh St, Mt Eden.
We love being part of this event! It's always a fun, fabulous evening - packed with gorgeous product, beautiful people and delicious treats.
This year the theme is Design In Colour which ties in perfectly with our new Spring collections. We do hope you call in at 18 Arthur St and see us - there's loads to see.
Something definitely worth noting: Andrew Martin's latest release Secret Garden uses Ecofast™ pigment inks.
In a nutshell Ecofast is all about lowering energy and water consumption while maintaining performance and high definition colour.
Ecofast is a digital printing process that requires little heat setting and reduces water consumption by over 50% when compared to conventional printing. So lots of environmental wins with this process.
Ecofast fabrics also happen to be anti-micobial, lightfast (6 - 7), anti-mildew - and abrasion, stain and shower resistant. So ticking loads of boxes and I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more Ecofast prints in the future.
