The most important thing you’ve designed to date: The Side Kick pendant, which laid the foundations for the Step & Kick series, is a classically simple design that has led us down a path of refining materials and an emphasis on detail. We produce a new series every year, so to take a breath and just look back on such a varied body of work is a proud, but short-lived moment before we start seeking out the next thing!
Describe the problem your work solves: We make everything by hand to develop a connection between the material and the maker. This allows for flexibility in how others interpret our lighting since the finish, scale, and configuration can all be adapted to suit each space. Because of this process, our designs each have their own unique personality imparted by the hand of the person who made it. We hope the joy we find in our work shows through in our designs.

Four Pillars Gin has launched its summer campaign, Summer is Four Pillars, featuring a series of video and static content via the Interweave Group.
Made up of five creative pieces, the content heroes Four Pillars’ core range of gins. Each of the creatives visually reflects one of the five gins, utilising its signature colour.
“It’s been a big year of highs and lows and this campaign is all about keeping it simple, kicking back and enjoying a G&T in the sun,” said Four Pillars head of marketing, events and activations, Jemma Blanchat . “We wanted the campaign to capture the heat of an Australian summer; the kind of heat that calls for a generous gin and tonic with lots of ice and a slice of orange.”
