As true advocates for authentic design - this piece in SMH by our mate Stephen Lacey who edits Design Unplugged couldn't be more apt, or hilarious! A fabulous piece written in support of a truly important issue. Another working tirelessly on this issue is the Authentic Design Alliance of which KE-ZU is a named supporter.  Head over to the website...

The Australians! Formerly disregarded as kangaroo riding hillbillies, residing in outback shacks in remote towns populated by Akubra wearing, large knife wielding croc hunters. Slowly and surely the stereotypes dropped off and we are being recognized as the world leaders that we are. Fighting this good fight for the cause at the minute is the Socceroos.

In his 1984 book and largely the running go-to when it comes to the subject, Edward O. Wilson introduced and popularized the hypothesis as "the urge to affiliate with other forms of life". As often is with architecture and design, we take cues...

I like Victoria Beckham.  During my formative years listening to pop music and attempting to find a suitable musical style to which I could call my taste I’ll admit that she was my least favourite Spice Girl.  Her dancing consisted of bending one knee, dragging a one-handed finger point from left to right all the while sporting a doe eye...
