Bree Oliver of A Paddington Perspective blog sent me these photos from designEX 2009, a well attend design expo in Melbourne, Australia.

Here’s what Bree wrote about what she saw at this Australian interior design, architecture and decorator convention:

“Coco,

Here are some images taken from Designex 2009 in Australia. There were two main trends ‘organic chic” and “over the top glamour”.

Cheers, Bree”

Thank you Bree for submitting these photos! Next year I’ll have to try to make it to Melbourne to visit designEX in person!

It started with an invitation. I met @hugobesnier_ It started with an invitation. I met @hugobesnier_ , founder and designer of luxury furniture brand @hartisparis_ at a small gathering in the 7ème, near the Musée d’Orsay. I was there with my new friends, Scarlette and Sarah.
The apartment itself was incredible! Tall ceilings, terrazzo floors, right along the Seine, but what really stood out was the furniture.
Turns out, it was Hugo's exquisite work.
The pieces are designed around everyday gestures: sitting, leaning, resting, but interpreted in a way that feels elevated and intentional. There’s a balance of structure and softness, where architectural lines meet more organic textures and forms.
He invited me back the next day to see everything more clearly, outside of the party setting, and it completely changed how I experienced it. The pieces feel intentional and refined, with a strong focus on material and form.
Sharing a closer look at his work here.
My Paris dream life keeps happening again and again!

Spaces where the bones do all the talking. Vaulte Spaces where the bones do all the talking.
Vaulted ceilings, warm wood, and light pouring in. Everything feels grounded, layered, and quietly inviting.

Paris-inspired interiors just have a way of feelin Paris-inspired interiors just have a way of feeling effortless.
Classic moldings, soft light, and that perfect mix of old and modern pieces. It all just works.
If you could bring one Parisian detail into your home, what would it be? ✨

Bookshelves that do more than hold books. 📚 They Bookshelves that do more than hold books. 📚
They frame the room, add warmth, and tell a story through what’s collected and what’s left open. It feels personal, never overdone.
Which one would you want in your home?
