Grand Designs Live, Sydney

‘The Classics are Always Modern’

It was months in the planning, late nights in the execution and culminated in three days to showcase, inspire and celebrate our brands in Sydney last weekend. We received a great response from the design community and homeowners who had come from as far as Melbourne and Canberra especially for the show. With projects spanning from initial thoughts to nearly complete, it was inspiring to hear their plans and ambitions for 2012 and beyond. We found it was a real buzz to meet homeowners who had installed Perrin & Rowe in their projects and to hear how happy they are with our products.

The theme for our stand ‘The classics are always modern’ really rang true, with an overwhelming interest in classical products for traditional homes and those wanting an enduring style.

The Perrin & Rowe kitchen tapware over our Acquello Italian fireclay sinks was an instant hit with a lot of ‘ooing and aahing’ to be heard. We previewed the Perrin & Rowe contemporary taps which will be released early next year and feedback confirmed that they will definitely have a place in the market. The Grand Designs Live attendees appreciated their streamlined design and recognised the world-renowned Perrin & Rowe precision engineering. We expect these will be available for Australia from Feb 2012, so keep your ears open and eyes peeled.

The bathroom area had a constant flow of visitors exclaiming over the amazing Perrin & Rowe showers especially the 310mm shower rose which is WELS 3 star rated for those who thought it would be a water waster. The Art Deco suite included the small powder room basin on a Hawthorn Hill basin stand; perfect for an en-suite, powder room or small bathroom. Victoria & Albert kindly lent us their Ios bath - an attention grabber to say the least. And finally, for those with a yearning for warm towels when they step from the bath or shower, the Hawthorn Hill towel warmers were definitely added to a few wish lists!

Congratulations must be extended to our Grand Designs Competition winner Kylie Harvey, of NSW.  She has won $1000 of store credit to spend on any of our Perrin & Rowe, Acquello or Hawthorn Hill range for her upcoming bathroom renovation. She is thrilled and we look forward to working with her on her product selection.
