I feel enormously proud to share with you the details of our latest collaboration with (), which saw me (Dana, aka Mama Yellowtrace) conceptualise and curate a multi-channel campaign and a series of exhibitions that celebrate
We were approached by Arflex almost a year ago about creating a local campaign . Arflex were keen to work with an “Australian creative force” to breathe new life into their furniture pieces. As someone who genuinely adores Arflex, I was absolutely thrilled to work on what was mostly a pretty open brief.
From the outset, I was conscious we weren’t setting out to create just another series of pretty images, but rather deliver something unique and with meaning. We live in a time in which we are saturated with endless amounts of eye candy competing for our attention – and as someone who looks at an obscene amount of design images every day, I was committed to creating a campaign that went beyond the ‘image’ alone.
The primary objective for this collaboration was always to weave authentic Australian character into the iconic Italian brand. Rather than doing the obvious thing, like a location shoot in front of the Opera House, or on Bondi Beach, I decided that pairing Arflex with Australian Art was a really powerful way for us to tap into the collective consciousness of our local audience, allowing us to make Arflex feel even more relevant here in Australia.
This idea also responds to the ongoing global trend of iconic art being used to brand high-end interiors. I think we can all agree that rarefied, bespoke and special qualities are the new currency of luxury, and this is something that’s very much present in art.
