Nemo Chair…
Jul 30th
At the stunningly beautiful Longhouse Reserve in East Hampton at their annual summer benefit, one of the stars of the show was the collection of white Nemo chairs placed in a field.
The longhouse reserve on 16 acres was founded by the textile designer Jack Lenor Larson in 1991, and is an amazing place. This year’s benefit honoured the artist Dale Chihuly.
Definitely worth a visit, but the reserve is only open a precious few days and times a year!

New York ICFF
May 24th
Last week the International Contemporary Fair was held in NYC. There was a buoyancy and upbeat mood that had been missing in previous years. Many of the student designed furniture booths were the most interesting. Also the sustainable furniture being exhibited was, in the words of the New York Times,” playful”.
However the star of the show and the best booth had to be from Heller furniture with their colourful display of the Frank Gehry cubes.

Queensland Flood Property Update
Jan 28th
The following perspective is from Don Molloy the Managing Director of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland ( REIQ).
“While it is still too early to tell with any level of certainty what effects the recent Queensland floods will have, we can take some heart from how the market reacted after the 1974 floods.
“The REIQ has researched the Greater Brisbane property sales market and found that within six to 12 months of the January 1974 flooding, demand and prices had returned to levels experienced pre-flood.
“Prior to this year’s flooding, the REIQ was optimistic of better times ahead for the Queensland property market in the second half of this year. This prediction now needs to be reassessed.
“Over the short-term, those properties directly affected by the floods are obviously the most likely to be affected by lower demand and reduced prices.
“But while the next few months may result in a subdued market, and not detracting from the heartache currently being experienced by thousands of homeowners, we need to remember that hundreds of thousands of homes were not affected by the floods which should reassure homeowners and investors that the viability of the Queensland property market remains sound.
“As the rebuilding phase takes shape, and with it much-needed financial stimulus into our economy, the REIQ envisions that the property market will prove as resilient today as it did 37 years ago.”
