Ahh Mozi how we have longed for you…

MOZI creates a range of original, bright, bold and quality products that reflect our lifestyles today. From romantic Victorian stationery to elegant and decorative Art Nouveau tea towels, from garden themes to African savannah.

For the girls at MOZI, design is a way to reflect their appreciation of the worlds’ beauty and variety. They celebrate through colour and theme – bringing this to you in a distinct, lively and growing product range.

Careful consideration is given during product development as MOZI endeavours to support local manufacturers and employ sustainable materials.

MOZI was founded in Melbourne 2003 by sisters, Camilla and Olivia Tipler. It all sprouted from Camilla’s urgent midnight phone call to Olivia in Rome, convincing her that she had a new product idea to take to market and, in order to unleash the idea, she needed a partner in crime. That product was the now well renowned Street Directory Cover.

The duo quickly identified a niche in the Australian market for quality, designer homewares that appealed to a broad demographic. Coupled with their creative flair and commitment to the concept, MOZI was born.

Camilla holds an Honours Degree in Graphic Design while Olivia holds a Bachelor of Business/Arts in Italian. The combination of background and skills has proven to be a successful marriage.

And we at the greenhouse just love them!

We have discovered the most beautiful kids clothing, designed and made right here in Byron Bay! By loving mothers and gorgeous grandmothers.

The miss haidee label offers beautiful clothing for boys and girls from birth to 8 years old.

There is a uniqueness and style to her designs that is distinctly recognizable as an item from the miss haidee label.

Boys love the tomboy pants that can be worn as both shorts and long pants due to quality design and construction. The girls vintage dress is a piece of art! Most of the miss haidee label is one off a kind; there are always small runs each season!

Check out the Miss Haidee website: I’m sure you will fall in love like we did… Miss Haidee

Eva Solo, it just makes everything better!

Eva Solo, the ultimate combination of appearance and functionality. Eva Solo has a unique collection of award-winning designs with each product being created as the center of its own universe.

My most prized piece in the kitchen is my  Eva Solo new generation solid stainless garlic press, which has holes  that are so easy to clean! (Unlike so many that I have brought before)

It has space for the extra garlic cloves in the glass container, making a striking bench top addition when not in use. Its just so easy to use- you will become even more addicted to garlic in your salads, sauces and dips! Yum!

Enjoy!

‘There are rare moments in the design continuum when the inspiration of a single artisan transcends that of their contemporaries and translates into a legacy destined to extend beyond the here and now’. Fink

Such is the work of Robert Foster and his studio/workshop, F!NK + Co. We at the Greenhouse think that this is the ultimate in sleek serving and dining.  Each object created by Fink is individually hand finished which results in an object embedded with its own unique charecteristics—more like a piece of art.

‘Founded in 1993 to manufacture beautifully-designed and innovative household objects, F!NK is not just a showcase for Foster’s internationally-renowned exhibition pieces, but a production house for the work of an increasing pool of young designers, and a name synonymous with spirited and distinctive Australian design’.

‘Lauded as works of exemplary contemporary design in the world’s major arts institutions including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) in Canberra, F!NK objects offer more than just striking visual appeal and design innovation. The functional performance and quality of production and finishing are palpably important to the artists and the studio. It comes as no surprise that Foster was originally trained more than two decades ago as a metalsmith and has worked overseas with some of the world’s leading design houses: Alessi (design and prototyping of teapots in 1996 and 2000) and Ingo Maurer (lighting prototypes in 2000)’.

In store at the moment is the  iconic F!NK Water Jug, in a range of colours including polished silver, electric blue and deep purple- they are a pleasure to use and a piece of Australia art history to collect.

“It is crucial to educate the Australian and international public about the value of outstanding design and high quality products.” Robert Foster Fink Designs.
