Chris Connell’s humbled disposition, easygoing nature and seemingly laid-back, less is more approach to design gives you the impression that he goes about it all with great ease. Well he may, but we all know that although less is more, less is by no means any easier to achieve than more! It’s all about well-executed design, functionality and careful consideration of materials.
I recently attended an event as part of Sydney Design 2010, where Connell was a guest speaker. The thing I liked most about this distinguished Melbourne designer was how down-to-earth he was despite a portfolio filled with such a diverse array of creative brilliance. His Pepe chair, for example, is in New York’s Museum of Modern Art and he is also the director of MAP International, a contemporary Australian furniture and object design business and Chris Connell Design, which is regarded as one of Australian’s leading Interior Design Firms.
If you are familiar with Melbourne’s café scene you will most likely recognise some of his amazing dining spaces.
