DESIGN ART | IN YOUR SPACE | IN CONVERSATION

The most considered collections in the world still need a curated experience, an industry audience, and a memorable moment. We create and coordinate all three.

For 25 years, Gaia Starace and Catherine Whitting have practised at the intersection of interior design and fine art, drawing on philosophy, storytelling, history, and craftsmanship to translate the embedded language of design objects into a cohesive artistic response. They know Sydney's design community intimately, and specialise in collaboration and industry partnership with leading brands and patrons.

For showrooms and product brands seeking a unique industry experience, or presence in Australia, they produce curated art after hours events that position a collection not as furniture, but as a point of view. Artworks are not applied to a space or showroom but created from the site, story and narrative. The boundaries between artist and designer dissolve, forming a unified curated collection that elevates both.

Original artworks, conceived in response to site, client, product or brand. A curated audience of the designers, architects, and tastemakers who shape what Australia buys.

You bring the collection, product, client or site. They create bespoke, original art and curate the space around it, transforming a showroom into an immersive, cross-cultural experience, where art is created and curated on site.

Artistic activation after hours

A one-day cultural activation, hosted within a design studio, residence, or brand space, followed by a short installation period.

Original artworks are co-curated in response to the space and the products within it, bringing the collection into conversation with a room built to hold it.

Who's Involved

An ecosystem gathered around the object and the room:

International design studios. Furniture and lighting brands. Material and craft suppliers. Architects and interior designers. Interior stylists and decorators. Property specialists. Collectors and press.

And at the centre, our own artistic practice, Gaia Starace and Catherine Whitting, shaping the artworks that bring it all into conversation.

art + INTERIORS + CONNECTIONS

Two practices, one language. Gaia Starace and Catherine Whitting, working where art and interiors meet.
