Elton Group was proud to join the design community in a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and innovation, at Saturday In Design (SID) 2024 in Sydney.
Partnering with K5 Furniture in their elegant Surry Hills showroom, we presented ‘New Skins’ – Modernism Recast, a bold reimagining of iconic furniture through the lens of contemporary veneers.
REIMAGINING DESIGN WITH EVENEER ALPI VENEERS
In this unique installation, we transformed the Boyd Collection with ALPI Maritime Pine, highlighting its organic textures. A commercial Segis table received an eye-catching update in ALPI Sottsass Red veneer, a tribute to iconic modernist design. Meanwhile, the Inno table embraced the glamour of the 70s with a stunning Sapphire Burl veneer.
Alongside these striking pieces, we showcased the versatility of the Eveneer range with full drops of Eveneer WoodWall – our revolutionary real timber wallpaper that redefines interior surfaces. Visitors also experienced the curvaceous possibilities of Eveneer Profiles, demonstrating the elegance and flexibility of our Eveneer materials.
R&D AND ART IN PERFECT HARMONY
In line with our ongoing commitment to innovation, we used SID to unveil a new timber product in development, engaging the design community in workshops and discussions about its potential.
Adding a creative twist to the exhibition was a collaboration with renowned Australian artist Jasper Knight, who presented a series of bespoke works using reclaimed signage, materials, and veneers from Elton Group. These pieces offered a fresh interpretation of the iconic Roy Grounds’ Shine Dome at ANU, adding depth and storytelling to the exhibit.
A WEEKEND OF FRIENDS, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY
On Friday evening, we hosted a VIP preview for our friends, neighbours, and clients, where they enjoyed an exclusive first look at the product collaborations and the unveiling of Jasper Knight’s custom artworks.
Kicking off Saturday with great energy, we held an intimate talk featuring Jasper Knight and his wife, architect Isabelle Toland, co-founder of Aileen Sage Architects. Moderated by Jasper’s brother Dom Knight, this discussion offered unique insights into the creative processes and family dynamics behind their inspiring work. The showroom was filled to capacity, and the talk was a standout event of the day.
