Copperstone Estate with Emma Lane

The idyllic setting for our new Panorama Collection, Copperstone is a lavish equine estate, situated in the Bangalow hinterland but just as easily imaginable in the Tuscan hills or Argentinian countryside. Envisioned by the esteemed Lane family as a luxurious destination to gather and host, the stunning retreat nurtures a sense of slow living and a deeper connection to nature. We spoke to Emma Lane about creating a sanctuary stay that draws reference from around the world while championing Australia’s unique pastoral heritage.

An Evening with Julia Busuttil Nishimura

We were delighted to welcome cook, author and presenter Julia Busuttil Nishimura to Armadillo’s Melbourne showroom for an intimate gathering in celebration of her fourth cookbook, Good Cooking Every Day. The evening was hosted by Lucy Feagins, founder and editor of The Design Files, who sat down with Julia for a warm conversation about her foray into the food world, the importance of knowing where ingredients come from, and the design details in her home that enhance those joyful moments of cooking and entertaining.

Via Donte by Ome Dezin

Jesse Rudolph and Joelle Kutner have mastered the fine line between honoring the past and imagining the future. Since 2020, the longtime friends and principals of design studio Ome Dezin have been lauded for breathing new life into some of Los Angeles’ most character-filled homes. Their latest project, Via Donte, has the glamour of an Italian palazzo thanks to its many exquisite vintage touches, yet feels as warm and welcoming as you would want a contemporary family home to be.
