We’re back! Lets kick off 2013 with a little fun. Melbourne artists and designers Iggy and Lou Lou have put together a beautiful range of porcelain jewellery with the collections combining a sense of romance and history. We love the tongue in cheek humor – made perfect for modern day lovers!
Iggy and Lou Lou has a dedicated local and international following, appealing to a wide audience including style and music creatives Emily Blunt, Anthony Gonzalez (M83) and Nicole Richie. Collaborations include Karen Walker, Perks & Mini and Chicks on Speed.
From the Makers…
“Home is our favorite creative space. We make and collect objects that are rare and unexpected, mixing ideals of evolution with a sense of history and belonging.
We love the history of clay and its contrasts, the fact that it’s fragile but strong enough to last generations – even dug up after centuries of being forgotten.
With a Masters of Ceramics behind us, there is a strong emphasis on mixing the latest in ceramic technology with traditional making methods. We make everything ourselves in our studio while being very nice to the environment. Getting our hands dirty, we prefer to do the work ourselves rather than machines and use Australian made durable quartz porcelain, kiln fired up to 4 times . Each piece is beautifully handcrafted and meticulously finished.
Drawing on the history and enduring romance of porcelain our work is made to be loved – handmade originals to have and to hold.”

Opening on Thursday 6th December at Ausin Tung Gallery, 164 High Street Prahran is an exhibition of exclusive, limited-edition functional interior design pieces by the world renowned British-born and Hong Kong-based designer Michael Young. The exhibition will run until the 22nd December 2012.
Don’t miss the opportunity to see pieces as diverse as sophisticated highly polished cast aluminum chairs, transformed newspaper based furniture and a marble grave.
Michael sees the work not as Design but as Industrial Art where some of the highest levels of manufacturing have been employed. His decision to centre his practice in China and the integration of the sophisticated manufacturing techniques available there have resulted works that are not only consumer products but works collected by galleries and institutes around the world.
