Introducing Sightline: A Half-Day Design Intelligence Briefing with Dana Tomić Hughes.

Design has the power to shape how we live, work and experience the world. With this understanding at its core, Dana is launching Sightline, an insightful download of design's directions—like a year's worth of intel in one morning—arriving in Sydney (10 February) and Melbourne (12 February) 2026.

"We're drowning in content but can't always see what it means," Dana explains. "There's no shortage of beautiful images, trend reports, or design news. But what's missing is the space to step back and understand the patterns. To figure out what deserves your attention and what's just noise."

Early Bird tickets are now available via https://bit.ly/3Y72KPy

Sightline 2026 Principal Partners: Fibonacci and Space Furniture.
Supporting Partner: Brintons.
Education Partners: RMIT School of Architecture and Urban Design and University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning.

At Daily Press café, Styled Habitat pulled from 1960s modernist spaces, filtering that reference through a contemporary Abu Dhabi lens with bold geometry, honest materials, and thoughtful programming. A cantilevered stone bar sits at the heart, surrounded by brushed steel, veined marble, and knotty burl veneer, while furniture includes design heavyweights like Tacchini, Flexform, and Cassina. https://bit.ly/4ivQxNK

Bruzkus Greenberg's Blue Box is a clever spatial intervention in a 75-square-metre Berlin rooftop apartment. The design centres on a multifunctional, dark blue joinery box that replaces walls and an impractical fireplace. Working as an entry, dining area, shelving, and stair screen, the stained timber element sits away from the perimeter to create circulation on all sides. A continuously flowing sky blue ceiling connects living, office, and bedroom zones, while strategic colour placement—dark blue horizontal, light blue vertical—defines the space. https://bit.ly/3MgHu7i

The Apple House by Okra transforms a forgotten Hertfordshire orchard into a community education hub that puts material innovation to work. Conceived as a working infrastructure, it provides year-round programming that prioritises people with the least access to nature. The plant library, with over 1,500 varieties, creates an educational resource for horticulture students, garden designers, and school children. https://bit.ly/4iAvwlg

Australian-born Zurich-based Hanya Leo's Artefacts Collection features what the designer calls "active furniture"—pieces that justify their footprint through constant engagement with their environment. Handcrafted by renowned Swiss workshops, the collection includes swooping dining tables, elegantly biomimetic stools, and tactile lighting that gets texture right. https://bit.ly/4oZMThD

Showcasing over a decade of work. Tom Fereday's new space in Camperdown is equal parts working studio and design gallery. As creative spaces become increasingly expensive and designers migrate from Sydney, Fereday is doing the opposite: investing in a dedicated studio that acts as both archive and active practice, open by appointment to anyone interested in design. https://bit.ly/4aeyTfd

Random Studio's Nike x Jacquemus pop-up at Le Marais proves that the details matter. The installation celebrated the Moon Shoe revival by merging 70s gym culture with ballet studio elegance. Pommel horses, kettlebells, and ballet bars sat within a world of worn wood and aged leather. But it's the custom soundscape—flowing between classical ballet and 70s hits—and specially made fragrance that made the experience stick. https://bit.ly/48zZVN0

This isn't your typical legal fitout. At William Street Chambers, Kennedy Nolan created a seductive work environment where bold colour sets the scene and clever design details follow through. The space accommodates 26 individual chambers plus communal areas that feel refuge-like rather than corporate. https://bit.ly/48hTNHM
