EDITOR’ SLETTER

e are so proud to be celebrating a decade of design – 10 years of the Coco Republic Interior Design Awards with our major partner Coco Republic. When we first started these awards, our editorial co-ordinator (now deputy editor) Harry Roberts and I spent hours printing out a seemingly endless line-up of entries, disabling a Coco Republic Interior Designer of the Year. Coincidentally Iain Halliday of BKH, where both Tania and Gillian worked as designers, has won our inaugural Hall of Fame award. I feel fortunate to have been here for well over a decade to see the industry’s evolution and the career trajectory of many designers. Contributing design editor Jean Wright has been working at for many more years than me and in this issue we get a glimpse of her artfully curated Sydney apartment. But wait there’s more! We have a swag of incredible houses as always. Visit standout abodes by Thomas Hamel, Nick Tobias, Rob Mills and other design achievers, including gallerist Sally Dan-Cuthbert’s beautiful family home with dramatic artworks at every turn. Finally, thank you to a wonderful core team of Cathryn Zhang, Harry Roberts and Janice Hogg and all our fabulous contributors – you have kept everything looking and reading beautifully in a year that has been full of surprises!
