From highly expressive residential spaces to chic commercial environments, this debut book presents interiors that reflect a harmonious fusion of bold style and bohemian spirit.
The arrival, in 2021, of Australian global pop star Troye Sivan's richly layered Melbourne home introduced the world to Flack Studio, a wildly creative, multidisciplinary practice of designers and architects well established in Australia. Launched in 2014, the studio is driven by an adventurous sensibility that embraces historical research and contemporary innovation. Furniture, lighting, textiles, fittings, and vivid colour coalesce into a holistic yet idiosyncratic experience. A deep sense of materiality, a passion for contemporary art, and an embrace of local community and makers are hallmarks of Flack's projects, which include homes and restaurants throughout Australia, Los Angeles, Seoul and the Ace Hotel in Sydney. In this beautifully crafted book, the creative flair that defines Flack Studio's design philosophy is on display in a selection of projects curated by Flack himself. Each project is a testament to the designer's talent for balancing contemporary aesthetics with a warm, inviting atmosphere, his bold use of color, meticulous attention to detail, and a seamless integration of modern and classical elements. This is an exclusive first look into the studio's creative process, showcasing how Flack's vision ultimately comes to life in emotive, expressive interiors.Author Biography
