GRAND SLAM OVAL AT AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2026

Client: Tennis Australia |  Location: Melbourne Park | Photography: Hikari Photography

Grand Slam Oval forms the heart of the AO, and we are honored to furnish this central space with our new and premium outdoor seating. Tennis Australia invited Valiant to design three areas across the GSO precinct, and link the area together with a cohesive selection that creates a lively atmosphere for day and night, with DJ and live music scheduled throughout the tournament. 

Our creative team drew inspiration from the GSO branding, and created an evolving colour palette with warm tones and pops of bold, signature AO blue. We installed an ombre colour gradient across the large space at GSO, designed to complement surrounding installations while remaining distinctive.

Our seating selection includes our new Ombra chair and stool collection, Lenny Dining Tables and Shibui Dining Chairs to accommodate larger groups and families, along with Shibui and Bloom lounging, oriented to connect tennis lovers with the action on the big screen.

Venture up to the rooftop deck with an exciting spread of Ombra Seating, Percy Umbrellas, Bloom Lounging and more.
