2024 BCE – 2024 CE | BARBERA In Conversation at Fletcher Arts

Established in 2004, BARBERA produces high quality Australian made and designed furniture. Based in Melbourne, its team of skilled artisans, technicians and designers use a range of classic materials such as marble, bronze, steel, leather and timber to forge a refined aesthetic. Designed for use in domestic and commercial architectural spaces, their product ethos is focused around intelligent design outcomes and process orientated workings; fusing old industrial techniques with modern technology and high craftsmanship.

Hamish complements the spirit of his co-founder, Paul Hecker, with a cerebral and highly considered design sensibility. With a conscious way of looking at the world, nurtured by his alternative Steiner education, Hamish’s measured yet highly emotive approach guides interiors that are deeply rooted in feeling. Mentored by prominent Australian architect, Darryl Jackson, throughout his early career, Hamish discovered how his curiosity in travel, architecture, design, and art could be effectively channelled, edited, and actioned into unique and resonant interior spaces.

The winemaking philosophy of All Saints Wine is all about making the most of its unique place – the soil, the Murray River, the climate and the fruit – to create handcrafted wines that truly reflect where they were produced. From vineyard to bottle, each part of the process is painstakingly overseen by winemaker Nicholas Brown, supported by their dedicated vineyard team, who prune, grow and harvest the grapes for each vintage. From enrichment of the soil and traditional vineyard practices to labour-intensive hand-picking, sorting and gentle pressing in a 135-year-old basket press, they take real care to deliver something very special.
