Continuing his artistic exploration of modern organic design, Greg Natale joined Serafini last week at the opening event of their brand-new showroom in Milan for the cities annual design fair. Following the 2023 debut of the Onda Table and the release of the Onda Bowls earlier this year, Natale worked with the Italian stone artisans at Serafini to select Paonazzo and Nero Pagoda. When layered against one another, the contrasting stones produce an elegant visual effect that dramatises the juxtaposition between the fluid undulations and heavy lines of the design.

The Onda Console is a nuanced design featuring a wave-like shape from multiple perspectives. Each of the console legs presents an alternative interpretation of the undulated Onda design; one side is a solid column carved from a single block of stone, while the other offers a layered, two-dimensional view of the fluid pattern. From above, the scalloped-edge Onda design in Paonazza breaches to sit within the mirrored bullnose Pagoda top. The sense of mutability in Natale’s design amplifies the raw beauty in marble, creating the illusion of motion within solid stone.

Internationally celebrated for his uniquely maximalist approach to design, Greg brings his curated mix of pattern, colour, and richly textured materials to his collection of lifestyle products and home accessories, and his latest piece with Serafini is no exception. Onda is an origional design by Greg Natale available as a basin, a bowl, and a table.

Following the release of the VL50 list of 2024, Greg Natale received an honourable nomination by Vogue Living for top creative of 2024. The prestigious publication announced the VL50 list last week after collating fifty names of industry talents in Australia and New Zealand who are making waves in the design world across the globe. Included along side Greg’s nomination was a photo from the remodelled interior of a villa-style home from 1985, MacMasters Beach House, as a stylish sneak preview into the 2024 Greg aesthetic.

Editor-in-chief Rebecca Caratti rolled out the red carpet for the inaugural VL50 Awards Night to announced the winners of each category across product design, landscaping, architecture, and interior design. It was a beautiful evening spent amongst inspiring individuals dedicated to contributing to the world of design. Australia’s trailblazing design industry is definitely making waves internationally, and its always a pleasure to celebrate those producing inspirational work. Congratulations to all the winners!

Sydney, mark your calendars for May: Greg Natale and Kaolin Tiles are excited to announce DIMORA, a collaborative collection of tiles soon to be launching in Australia! A convergence of high quality craftsmanship and innovative design, DIMORA is a series of porcelain tiles for the home designed by Greg Natale and crafted by the experts at Kaolin Tiles. After its original unveiling in Guangzhou, China, at the Romario Showroom in January received such incredible reception, DIMORA will be shown in Sydney for the first time at the Kaolin showroom.  This collaboration is a symbol of creative innovation in both technique and artistry between two experts of their respective crafts.

Working with the porcelain artisans at Guangzing Ceramics, Kaolin Tiles has brought an unmatched level of skill and craftsmanship to Australia. This is the first time Greg Natale has produced porcelain tiles, expanding his floors & walls range.

Comprised of ten original designs, DIMORA is inspired by a diverse range of motifs from iconic eras of design to make up three collections: Villa, Grotta and Casa.

VILLA

Villa is Greg’s signature style brought to life through inlayed geometric designs over striking marble reproduced by the artisans at Kaolin. These magnificent tiles possess an exclusive, high-end quality to suit any grandiose interior.

GROTTA

Grotta features modernist, simplified designs reminiscent of the 1970s Brutalist movement. An exploration of natural forms using industrial materials, tones and textures, this collection emphasises the raw beauty of urban design.

CASA

Casa is comprised of geometric design synonymous with the high-end, maximalist qualities and eclecticism present within Milanese design. The patterns and the pallets, are versatile, design-forward creations suited to any modern interior.

Be the first to see The DIMORA Collection!

Featured in the latest edition of Art Edit magazine, the Greg Natale Mosman House is a richly layered, extravagant feast for the eyes. Nestled in the harbourside of Sydney’s suburb of Mosman lies this remarkable four-story, five-bedroom contemporary villa featuring twenty-eight different types of stone. This project is a compelling marriage of pared-back classicism and modernity, featuring elements of Italian rationalism and brutalism finished with art deco flourishes. Behind the oversized bronze and glass doors is a delightful combination of pink, ivory and green tiles that lead you to a statement living area encased in grey, ivory and black marbled granite. You can tour the Mosman House, along with many of our other projects via our Youtube account, Greg Natale, and shop the look with this stylish edit.
