NDIS-Approved hardware

Designed with accessibility in mind, this Stegbar door handle features a larger, ergonomic grip area – ideal for individuals with limited dexterity or alternative gripping styles.

A generous clearance between the handle and the glass surface ensures easy, unobstructed operation.

Additionally, the snib lock is raised by 45mm, making it easier to locate and use with confidence. This handle is NDIS-approved and is AS1428 compliant.

Organic forms

Multi-award-winning designer Greg Natale is known for his sophisticated use of pattern and colour, and his bold application of both in creating beautifully curated spaces. Greg’s latest range, the Cruda Collection, marks his seventh collaboration with Designer Rugs.

It showcases six original designs, handknotted in Tibetan wool. The rugs blend raw, organic forms with defined geometry.

Varied loop techniques and shifts in pile height lend a sculptural quality to each rug. The result is a collection that is both modern and versatile. 

Shadow and glow

Releasing her new range of wall sconces, Sydney ceramicist and designer Naomi Taplin extends her ‘philosophy of slow design into the architectural space, where light and material meet’.

She runs Studio Enti, which launches the Mani collection – three new wall sconces titled Mani Mini, Mani Wide and Mani Bell.

Each piece is made by hand in Sydney, shaped from fine Australian porcelain and fired to reveal subtle tonal variations. The curved forms cradle light rather than emit it, creating a gentle gradient of shadow and glow that transform a wall into an architectural surface.
