This apartment in New Farm, Brisbane, is literally popping with colour, shape and form. Evocative of the late 1960s, the interior by Twofold Studio responds to the building's concrete form and curvaceous lines designed by architects Rothelowman, and to the owners, a professional couple of art collectors who admire great furniture and design.

While the owners of this apartment purchased it off the plan, they immediately knew which pieces would take pride of place. Two key designs from their collection, the Patricia Urquiola Shimmer dining table by Glas Italia and side table, both from Space, would shape the brief to interior designer Jacqueline Jones, director of Twofold Studio. “Those two Urquiola pieces set the tone for the feel and colour palette. The dichroic glass continually changes colour with the light,” explains Jones, who worked closely with Grace Beech, Sales and Design Consultant at Space Furniture in Brisbane. “With Jacqueline, we came up with a concept that focused on the owners' passion for art, design and great furniture,” remarks Beech.

Other pieces from Space collection include the vibrant orange Foscarini Chouchin 2 pendant lamp over the dining table, New York brand Roll and Hill’s Odds & Ends 1970s-inspired wall lights, and, in the main bedroom, the Richard Bed from B&B Italia along with Moooi’s Extension chair. “The colours of the furniture are also expressed in the wallpaper (from Kvadrat Maharam) and in the tones used on the walls, such as in the bedrooms,” continues Jones, who through the collaboration with her clients and Space has created a colour coded interior that is highly personal and refreshingly unexpected.
