Grazia & Co collaborates with Gestalt New York to reintroduce the Meadmore Collection — a significant revival of mid-century Australian seating design. The launch offers consumers a rare opportunity to own historically important pieces reimagined for contemporary lifestyles.
Originally created by Clement Meadmore, a pivotal figure in industrial design, these works of mid-century Australian seating have been out of production for decades, making original examples scarce and highly valued by collectors and museums. Grazia & Co has meticulously updated the collection in consultation with Meadmore’s family and design experts, ensuring the pieces retain their original aesthetic while incorporating modern materials and sustainable practices. This careful balance between heritage and innovation makes the collection appealing to design enthusiasts who appreciate both historical significance and functional adaptability.
