A showroom,
reimagined as a home

By CAFE LIGHTING & LIVING · 6 minute read

Every designer knows the moment. A sofa looks right on the showroom floor, the swatch matches the brief and the dimensions work on paper, and still the client hesitates. What they cannot picture is how the piece will live: how the light falls across it in the afternoon, how it sits beside a marble table and a lamp, how it feels to sink into at the end of a long day.

The Living Penthouse is our answer to that moment. On the top floor penthouse suite of Grand Reve Apartments, sixteen floors above Castle Hill, we furnished a complete residence with our newest furniture, lighting, art and homewares, styled it in collaboration with B Spaces Interiors, and opened the door to the trade for one season.

It is a new chapter with our new release collections seen exactly as they are meant to be lived with.

Not a showroom floor,
but a complete interior

Across the residence, our pieces are layered against generous proportions and an outlook that carries from the Hills to the Blue Mountains: warm neutrals, tactile fabrics, brushed gold and sculptural form. Quiet luxury, with the kind of textural depth you can only read in person.

Every room holds its own mood, and yet the residence still reads as one home. It is a collaborative space for creativity, connection and inspiration, and a place where designers, stylists and partners meet the collection in the setting it was made for.

A journey of the senses

We wanted the residence to be felt as much as seen, so every room is introduced through the senses. Hear a song chosen for the mood of the space. Touch the materials and experience their texture and comfort. Discover a fragrance scent defining the character of each room.

From Al Green at the dining table to Audrey Hepburn singing Moon River in the master bedroom, each room has its own soundtrack. Rather than counting rooms, you move through them as a journey, and each one leaves its own impression.

Why it matters for your
next project

For the trade, the residence does something a catalogue cannot. You can test scale, fabric and finish first hand, see how a pendant warms a room after dark, and understand how a full scheme comes together from one supplier. Bring a client, and let the residence do the persuading for you.

Every piece in the penthouse comes from our range and is available through your trade account. There are no price tags, because trade pricing belongs to your account rather than a public page. Walk the rooms, build a list, and send it through to be priced against your terms.
