Two creative forces – BOYAC and ORIGINE – collaborate for a Melbourne Design Week presentation that elevates the art of craft and material integrity. At the heart of their collaboration is a deep respect for the tactile, the thoughtful and the timeless. Through a shared lens of quiet luxury, they offer a curated exploration of furniture and fabric, brought to life through a capsule collection. 

The collaboration premieres at Melbourne Design Week 2025, where BOYAC’s Cremorne showroom is transformed into a space for dialogue between objects and textures. The exhibition pairs furniture from Portuguese design brand Collector, selected by ORIGINE, with upholstery from French textile house Métaphores, presented by BOYAC. Together, they create a sensory experience that invites designers and decorators to reconnect with the authenticity of material.

At its core, the showcase is a celebration of craftsmanship and the enduring appeal of handmade processes. Collector, known for its revival of traditional furniture techniques through contemporary forms, brings pieces that speak of heritage while embracing the present. The brand works with a roster of acclaimed designers including Bernhardt & Vella, Federico Peri and Saccal Design House, striking a balance between artisanal practice and industrial precision.

Paired with these forms are the refined textiles of Métaphores – one of the most highly regarded names in interior fabric design, and a part of the Hermès textile group. Its textiles are an alchemical blend of raw materials, history and hand. Known for innovation in weaving, Métaphores continues to push the boundaries of what upholstery can express, transforming interiors with texture, emotion and depth.

The curated vignettes are further animated by hand-embroidered wall sculptures from Belgian designer Marijke De Cock. With a background in fashion design and a longstanding tenure at Dries Van Noten, De Cock brings an instinctive approach to ornamentation. Her works begin as intuitive sketches, later mapped into tactile forms adorned with beading, resulting in richly textured, abstract compositions that echo the show’s reverence for process.

Completing the exhibition is a selection of objects by independent Australian designers, soon to be revealed, rounding out the local-global dialogue and underscoring the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration.

As ORIGINE and BOYAC prepare to tour this exhibition through Sydney, Adelaide and Perth later in the year, the project stands as a reminder of what can emerge when like-minded brands come together. This is not just to display products, but to tell stories of origin, making and beauty. For interior designers and decorators, it’s an inspiring glimpse into the poetry of craft made modern.
