As the final pages of the calendar turn, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the highlights that shaped 2025, both locally and globally. From unforgettable events and inspiring interviews to international design fairs that sparked fresh ideas, this year was a celebration of creativity, connection, and craftsmanship.

We travelled from Osaka to Copenhagen, launched NAU on the world stage, and curated guides that helped our community navigate the best in design. We spotlighted standout products, shared stories from behind the scenes, and brought together voices that continue to shape the future of furniture and interiors.

Join us as we revisit our favourite moments of 2025: from the buzz of 3daysofdesign to multi-brand collaborations, and everything in between.

Moments That Mattered: CULT’s Unforgettable Events.  

From showroom events to immersive design talks, 2025 was packed with memorable moments that brought our community together. These events weren’t just about celebrating design: they were about connection, collaboration, and creativity. Here’s a look back at the CULT gatherings that made this year so special.

This year, the global design calendar was bursting with inspiration. 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen offered a more intimate, thoughtful take on contemporary design, with curated spaces and conversations that sparked fresh ideas.

Meanwhile, at the World Expo in Osaka, NAU hosted a special luncheon celebrating collaboration and creativity, welcoming Japanese design leaders and sharing the story behind NAU’s Australian-designed furniture and lighting.

Icons of the Year: Our Standout Designs.

2025 saw the arrival of pieces that stopped us in our tracks. From sculptural silhouettes to inspiring innovations, these product launches captured the spirit of the year: refined, relevant, and ready to elevate any space. Here are the standout designs that defined our showroom floors and sparked conversations across the industry.

Behind the Design: Conversations That Inspired Us. 

In 2025, we had the privilege of speaking with some of the most creative minds in the industry. One standout conversation was with David from TSAR Carpets, whose insights into craftsmanship and innovation left a lasting impression.

David shared how TSAR continues to push boundaries in textile design, blending traditional techniques with modern aesthetics to create pieces that are as functional as they are beautiful.

His perspective on the role of bespoke design in shaping interiors offered a thoughtful look at where the industry is headed and why individuality matters more than ever.
