Designers Australia 2021 Awards
The Designers Australia 2021 Awards initiated after recognising an industry void acknowledge the breadth of the design disciplines advocated by the DIA. The unique awards, a first for the industry identify Australia's best designers and studios emphasising the individual/s and their design processes as much as the outcome.
We’re transparent, proud of everybody we work with and everything we do.
We actively endeavor to promote, support, and empower Australian design and manufacturing. We pride ourselves on making our goods here in Brisbane and across country, partnering with other with other stellar Australian companies, to bring you the best quality. When we do go offshore, it’s because there is no feasible Australian manufacturing.

On a journey with Julie Smeros
Delicate, airy, and refined.
There's a real resolve present in Julie Smeros' work. The pieces feel at once childlike and sophisticated. Her handling of clay is masterful, resulting in an almost buoyant, paper-thin appearance. Her vessels are reminiscent of the origami paper boats we played with as children, gliding and bobbing down streams, or floating in puddles after the rain had subsided. Unexplored terrain was at the forefront of our mind, imaginations bursting with the possibilities of discovery.
LIVYOURMARK - Supporting South Africa
In support our South African brothers and sisters during this time of unrest, we’re taking 10% off our entire napery range, and donating 10% to LIV Durban, a village for orphaned and vulnerable South African children.
About Markian
A joint venture between two families, the Markian Legacy is inspired by and built on the shoulders of our fathers. The name itself embodying the inspirations, Mark and Ian.
