The launch of the Grounds collection coincides with the 40th-year celebration of the Melbourne Arts Centre. Grounds residential apartments and homes can still be viewed in and around Melbourne and Sydney.
The Grounds collection first release includes a range of furniture from Roy Grounds’ Clendon apartment development.
