Aurum Exhibit

This collaboration with Mint Design and TLC Pools for the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show culminated in “Aurum,” a show garden that masterfully blends modern Hollywood glamour with the tranquility of nature. Inspired by the Latin word for gold, Aurum seamlessly integrates elements of modernist and Art Deco philosophy with contemporary design principles, resulting in a space that is both opulent and grounded.


The design features a refreshing color palette and a captivating interplay of materials, textures, and patterns, reflecting a climate-conscious and people-centric approach. Aurum challenges the traditional divide between architecture and nature, demonstrating their harmonious coexistence.

Our Breeze dining chairs, with their elegant yet understated design, were chosen to complement this vision. Placed within the garden’s “Outdoor Room,” they provide a comfortable and stylish setting for visitors to relax and connect, embodying the garden’s ethos of casual elegance and social connection.

The garden flows organically through a series of spaces designed for effortless enjoyment and relaxation. Bold contrasts between delicate and robust elements, man-made and natural features, create a captivating visual journey.

Aurum’s impressive design and meticulous execution earned it a multitude of awards at the 2023 show, including Gold in the Show Garden Competition, the Innovative Design Award, the Construction Award, and the People’s Choice Award.
