Shopping for furniture and homewares in Melbourne just got that much better (big call), with the opening of the new Jardan flagship store on Church Street, Richmond. I’ve been a longtime fan of this niche Australian brand ever since I laid eyes on the handsome Nook sofa, so I’m excited by these first glimpses inside the brand’s new store.

In recent years, the Melbourne-based company’s profile and design credentials have soared with the launch of several new product lines, firmly establishing themselves amongst the luminaries of Australian design. All of Jardan’s handcrafted furniture is designed and made in Melbourne.

The new light-filled Richmond flagship was designed by architect Iva Foschia of IF Architecture, who was inspired by Australian modernist homes, including Pholiota, Rose Seidler House and Heide I & II.
You can see how beautifully Jardan’s modernist-inspired pieces are showcased in the new space, alongside the new 2014/15 collection designed by Jardan Lab.
Featuring new timber pieces, oversized modular sofas and streamlined armchairs, the new collection also includes brass pendant lights, hand-blown glass pendants and turned-timber lamps.

The new flagship store also boasts a new collection of curated homewares from local and international designers, including bed linen, locally-made ceramics, Italian cookware and cutlery, Argentinian cushions and blankets, Australian-made surfboards and a collection of art, photography and illustrations.
It was built using a wealth of Australian natural materials, with marble sourced from Chillagoe in North Queensland, Australian blackbutt timber and lime paint by Bauwerk from Western Australia.
