Design Director David Oliver is a master of colour and light. Trained at the National Art School in Sydney he developed an authority for twentieth century art and visual cultures. His eclectic style is pure without being uncomfortable. He combines a unique sense of colour with ability and innovation: qualities that have become the trademark of his collections.

Rapturously received as a runaway success, David is perhaps best known for his Architectural Colours: a tonal colour by number system for ceilings, cornices, walls and woodwork. These chromatically arranged colour palettes, enable you to create a harmonious balance of colour and light by accentuating or complementing the various interior architectural elements of your room.
