KYE is a reimagining of essentials—pieces that are both foundational and sensual for the everyday.
Grounded in softness, craftsmanship and the considered choices that shape our relationship with the earth, each piece is designed to become part of your everyday—to be worn and re-worn, lived in and treasured over time.
Balancing softness with functionality, and romance with modernity, KYE is guided by the belief that what we wear should deepen our connection—to ourselves, to one another and to the world we move through.
AUTUMN SONATA
August is a restaurant that sits in an old heritage church in West End, Brisbane. The dining room is filled with objects, art, and the original pitched ceilings and stained-glass windows. The menu is both classic and modern, and takes influences from the regional food of France, Italy and Spain, as well as the Australian seasons.
Autumn Sonata is a design atelier bringing a new lens to archival, historic, and storied objects.
Working as archivists and designers, we travel to uncover heirlooms hidden across bygone European estates, buried within dusty bookshelves, tucked into forgotten corners and re-contextualize them anew in imaginative, elegant forms.
Guided by both preserving the storied lineage of these historic objects and allowing them to fuel our current curiosities, we offer an evolving catalog that reflects this generative, reexamined relationship between intriguingly beautiful objects of any era.
LIDO
Lido was born from a desire to create practical swimwear and holiday apparel rooted in a timeless, minimalist aesthetic, with a distinctly Italian sensibility and contemporary edge. Named after Venice Lido, the island where it was founded, the brand combines classic silhouettes with modern fabrics and cuts.
Designed and produced in Northern Italy by skilled artisans, each swimwear piece is crafted from fast drying technical fabrics for a freeing, barely-there feel without compromising on style. Lido was founded in 2017 by Daria Stankiewicz and it remains an independent project, run by a small team based in the Venetian lagoon, united by thoughtful design and a deep love of summer.
Everyday objects for the home, functional and accessible.Their simple and useful forms reflect our vision of modern living. These new essentials, thoughtfully crafted by small manufacturers, showcase a diversity of wood species and traditional craftsmanship.
