Melbourne-based furniture and homewares store Southwood was established in 2008 in celebration of timeless design, quality materials and skilled craftsmanship. Inspired by natural materials and the growing movement towards sustainable living, Southwood quickly established a loyal following and has become known for beautifully designed furniture pieces that suit the relaxed Australian lifestyle.
In 2017, new owners and experienced interior designers Val Curcic and Maria Cudina brought a fresh vision. Sharing a passion for creating striking spaces that reflect the personalities that inhabit them, their combined industry experience over the last twenty years has laid the perfect foundation for Southwood’s refined aesthetic. Committed to the original business mission, timeless design inspired by nature, they have meticulously curated a collection sourced from selected Australian makers as well as international brands that share their passion for natural and fair trade pieces.
Following their year long design adventure, Val and Maria are proud to showcase an exciting new direction for Southwood. Enlisting stylist Ruth Welsby and photographer Lisa Cohen to capture and define the essence of their vision, these beautiful images speak for themselves.
Presenting Southwood's own range of furniture by skilled makers in Melbourne along with many other brands on offer, some of my favourites include the Armadillo & Co rugs and furniture and homewares by Danish brands Kirstina Dam and WOUD. There's also a gorgeous collection of textiles with beautiful linen and organic bamboo bedding.
