A nice (late) Christmas present arrived at MAKE today. Interior Pop: More than 50 of the best graphic infused interiors from around the world, features our very own graphic infused Ruby nightclub. Published by an/b Editions.
After completing the lovely branding and packaging for Farmer Jo, MAKE were asked to design a refill package that would work with the original bucket style tub. The result was a sweet series of paper sheets folded and sealed into recycled brown paper packets.MAKE also designed a series of jar stickers and swing tags, working with the original circular stamp concept.

Uncle Petes asked MAKE to design their Popup store in Westfield Bondi Junction. On a tight budget and compressed program, MAKE designed a circus themed installation in natural and painted ply. Built by Uptown, the stageset-like shopfront created a strong visual pimpact on a site lacking visibility.
MAKE were recently asked to design a new store for Title, alongside of their existing store on Crown street Surry Hills. The new store will be a showcase for fashion + books, allowing the existing space to focus on music + film. The design is based around a series of leaning ply panels lit by articulated work lamps. In the centre of the store is the book tower, a double height timber clad space featuring Taschen and other books.
Unit B4, ALEXANDRIA INDUSTRIAL ESTATE
The property development company, Goodman, recently engaged MAKE to develop a concept for the adaptive re-use of an existing warehouse in Alexandria. The space will house the South Sydney team and at the same time function as a marketing showcase for Goodman’s clients. The design brief was to create a contemporary office space within an industrial shell, working with the raw and unfinished qualities of the space to create a fresh and unexpected workspace.
LITTLE JOE WOMAN, BONDI BEACH
MAKE have recently completed our third store for Little Joe Woman at the new shopping destination at Bondi Beach - the Beach House. The store has a luxurious, yet relaxed beachside feel. A screen, of playful plywood shingles wraps the store, in an evocation of the Hampton’s based origin of the brand. A contemporary re-working of glass fishermans floats forms a an intriguing lighting installation - handmade by none other than Anna Trefely from our studio. Each change room is lined in the signature custom wallpaper MAKE have created from Gail Elliott’s eclectic and layered mood boards.
LOVE LACE DESIGN COMPETITION, POWERHOUSE MUSEUM
Currently on exhibition at the Powerhouse museum, the Love Lace competition invited designers to use lace techniques and imagery in different design fields. MAKE designed up a system of lasercut lacelike elements that when fixed together in different densities formed a system of variable sunshading.
COCK N BULL, BONDI JUNCTION
Wanting an inexpensive face-lift for the beer garden and lower bar at the Cock n Bull, Bondi Junction, our clients at The Eastern Hotel’s Group asked us for an inexpensive solution. It was to evoke an outdoor environment whilst being hardy and vandal resistant. Our solution was a coat of bright green paint and an installation of suspended galvanised pails filled with faux-ivy…which we wired up up and styled ourselves!
GINGER & SMART: THE MAKING OF
The creation of the Ginger & Smart store; its design process as well as fabrication has been documented in a series of evocative images by MAKE. Playing as a continuous loop within the store, the making-of imagery helps build the narrative of a space that is an authentic work in progress rather than a seamless finished piece.
