KE-ZU

Following our accidental “Salvador Dali Week” a fortnight ago, we thought we may note to our French friends, and travellers that last month saw the launch of a major exhibition on the great surrealist artist, Salvador Dali, at the Georges Pompidou Centre in Paris. This exhibition, devoted to the world of the Spanish surrealist - a prolific painter, sculptor, writer...

Getting to know your colleagues is always important.  Often we spend more time with our colleagues than our partners, friends or family. Sometimes these employment connections are born from visiting the same café during a break, having mutual friends or living in the same area.  Other times, it’s about extra-curricular collections, and this is the premise of this anecdotal Furniture...

KE-ZU was fortunate enough to be invited to the launch of quite the two-pronged attack on Sydney’s style scene. ­The fork comprises the launch of a colourful, conceptual photographic exhibition by quirky fashion and portrait photographer Helen White, taking place the Gaffa Gallery on Clarence Street, Sydney CBD. The photographic exhibition is a premise to the release of the bi-annual...

Salvador Dali. Pause.  Salvador Dali.  Pause.  Repeat. This is not how this blog post was intended to start.  But with so much to say about one interesting man, the mind races and sometimes all that lingers is a pause. So without further delay, here’s today’s Furniture Free Friday.  The subject matter derived from Wednesday's post about long-time KE-ZU supplier Spanish...

The spirited furniture manufacturer bd Barcelona was founded in 1972 as “bd Ediciones de Diseño”, a collaboration of a talented group of architects, designers and art talents.  Since then bd Barcelona has had a few name changes but the mantra remains the same, merging art and design. The 1970’s were a progressive time of art, design and art theory and...

In the manner of times past, it seems that sticking together and having a group of peers can lead to success in the arts world.  The 1960’s had the Rat Pack, the 1980’s the Brat Pack, we’re experiencing the Frat Pack as we speak but there’s a new pack emerging... and it’s brewing like an incoming storm. Today’s FFF goes...

Here at KE-ZU we love diving into our product catalogue and learning more about said product and the creative driver behind it. Looking above our heads to our intelligent lighting system, we catch a glimpse of one of our most intriguing products, the genius “On Line” lighting system by Belgian architect/designer Bart Lens for manufacturer Eden. Lens, a fascinating subject...

Industrial design genius Konstantin Grcic has leant his hand to bd Barcelona and now offers Table B, the first piece to drop from the ‘Extrusions Collection’, a family of furniture synthesizing industrial aesthetics and manual processing. Drawing obvious visual inspiration from bd Barcelona’s Hypóstila shelving unit, a signature piece from the Spanish manufacturers 1970’s catalogue, Table B seems to transcend...

To state the obvious, design and decoration is constantly changing.  For a time, different facets of design are sometimes elevated to the forefront of our industry and the products born from this proudly flood our market.   Always humbly plodding along, but never quite forgotten is the light.  From the most influential designs and decorations to the humblest of homes, lighting...

When one says ‘Sydney’ sometimes the mind just baffles.  There’s the obvious associations which come to mind; the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach, KE-ZU’s showroom... but what about the not-so-obvious or not-allowed-in gems that Sydney has to offer? This is where we welcome Sydney Open 2012 – kicking off on 2 November through to 4 November.  Run again...
