The standard of work this year was so high we chose to extend three Highly Commended awards to Nancy Constandelia, Alexis Vassett and Pippa Bradbrook. This year the students were asked to work on a main design and a co-ordinating design suitable to sit alongside our current Meridian range.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Congratulations to the winners and all the students </span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">graduating </span><span style="font-family:arial;">this year, </span><span style="font-family:arial;">best of luck from the Mokum Team!</span></div></div><br /></div>Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03579040270679830928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399838788596480211.post-15733799062794399592010-12-03T09:20:00.002+11:002010-12-03T09:39:24.379+11:00SUMMER ESSENTIALS<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxFo8hdpegDknISsr92Sr_CEPe7CYhdYmnpyH6ctCJpEKQOVB3lrBf0IOTzRmEXWNpIk27L_6VkYz3RN_pTs9cprsIDw0VTxDJp-Ri-QkFfhsI8PF9ILH_pdc28qGeYdpibHVTxPbDpaE/s1600/hg0111cover.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

As a designer she isn't afraid of colour or large bold designs that take over a room, she designs from the heart and it shows.</span></div><br /><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;">All of Neisha's designs start off as paintings and drawings on canvas. As a textile designer with a fine art background, I can relate to this process and can see how it influences the end result.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">This process makes her work standout amongst her competitors as youthful and creative.</span></div><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Neisha's bold and outgoing sense of design have won multiple design awards. The Victoria and Albert Museum also collect her work and we are lucky to have her designs in our Mokum showrooms. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><br /><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;">To me, Mokum and Neisha's design process and aesthetics are very much the same. Together we compliment one another and hopefully inspire interior designers to push the boundaries and use pattern more within interiors.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="left"></div>Bethany Linzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05692777754265008989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399838788596480211.post-79082394992306508832010-08-10T13:35:00.005+10:002010-08-10T14:21:14.428+10:00SYDNEY DESIGN 2010<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWGcrcKZCDH3gIpuo_4YROYmZQJcABuVcPHKF1ND_Zhc4HrjrsX6DIfD-Nx1bBy4koypMXp9exF6PzmYj8eOiLhJhDE9h22G1JHfgOZBVxOJImrK6itRjxlStsBngRd7uqTt8jG3FZOJnb/s1600/sd_logo.gif"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 157px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 127px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503619989719236530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWGcrcKZCDH3gIpuo_4YROYmZQJcABuVcPHKF1ND_Zhc4HrjrsX6DIfD-Nx1bBy4koypMXp9exF6PzmYj8eOiLhJhDE9h22G1JHfgOZBVxOJImrK6itRjxlStsBngRd7uqTt8jG3FZOJnb/s400/sd_logo.gif" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">The Sydney Powerhouse Museum is holding the annual <a href="http://www.sydneydesign.com.au/2010/">Sydney Design Festival </a>with a wide array of presentations and workshops involving all things design. Our design studio team received a good insight into intellectual property rights and the importance of protecting creative ideas and designs during a presentation from industry insiders last Thursday evening. Stephanie Tully, who is the head of customer experience design at Qantas, gave us a sneak preview of what new design innovations Qantas has developed to stay ahead of competitors and how they need to protect their creative inventions to keep their advantage.

Cockatoo Island is the main venue and in spectacular Sydney fashion the event is completely free. The former prison and shipyard is now an urban park and displays 120 works by 56 artists. What was most fascinating about this exhibition was the challenging nature of the venue: what is part of the island and what is art? The site hosts amazing industrial shipping remains, and former prison cells and storage buildings are transformed into gallery spaces.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial;">My favorite exhibits were <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Spitzer">Serge Spitzer's</a> installation 'Molecular', created from recycled steel, and <a href="http://www.choijeonghwa.com/">Choi Jeong Hwa's</a> installation created from kitchen colanders. Both exhibits generate a sense of randomness, filling their space organically. </span></span><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;" ><o:p></o:p></span></div></div>Ngahuiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10285389711497304753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399838788596480211.post-35649502625143635612010-07-29T09:33:00.002+10:002010-07-29T16:44:18.500+10:00NEW MOKUM WEBSITE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFx6S9T-KPm7U9vtsgVL-nHagZnkj_NiQIt5yXy6A2mzGtyNGjKdE808o-iOAcPCrfb6T2rau6Qfg-KDrpyCgZH1P2b1f7QnZ0NMjO2SV71Oi_fjdacf53GFQOQ_TLQ46cnM0tN2j2s1Rg/s1600/New_website.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" bx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFx6S9T-KPm7U9vtsgVL-nHagZnkj_NiQIt5yXy6A2mzGtyNGjKdE808o-iOAcPCrfb6T2rau6Qfg-KDrpyCgZH1P2b1f7QnZ0NMjO2SV71Oi_fjdacf53GFQOQ_TLQ46cnM0tN2j2s1Rg/s320/New_website.jpg" /></a></div><br />

I went down to Macquarie Street on Saturday night, along with many tourists and Australians to view the historic sandstone buildings in Sydney's CBD. They are incredible architectural constructions by day, but by night lit up with imagery reflecting Australia's colourful past and present, their structures became even more symbolic and impressive. The highlights for me (no pun intended) were St Marys Cathedral and the Conservatorium of Music. Above are some of the images I took.</span></span>Ngahuiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10285389711497304753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399838788596480211.post-7009285212381127362010-06-17T13:58:00.006+10:002010-06-17T22:53:49.548+10:00NEW LOOK VOGUE LIVING AUSTRALIA<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGIhi_CnSwP6cGjOE6NpmEb16efc-D9nk6rOfWFivn8cuQrbRAl7Bf4bE81Zz1woaKjWc8HbaXORycIabW4QAqOyT3nvM2SsbuHsyjl9Pc-8G-WYSrGz2c4S_0US2CsiPJusk-gEp9S94m/s1600/VL0710CoverHR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGIhi_CnSwP6cGjOE6NpmEb16efc-D9nk6rOfWFivn8cuQrbRAl7Bf4bE81Zz1woaKjWc8HbaXORycIabW4QAqOyT3nvM2SsbuHsyjl9Pc-8G-WYSrGz2c4S_0US2CsiPJusk-gEp9S94m/s320/VL0710CoverHR.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
