Dinosaur Designs collaborated with Australian culinary luminary Sean Moran, with his iconic North Bondi restaurant Sean’s setting the scene for the Botanica collection campaign. The pairing feels instinctive: both practice a kind of tactile sensibility that turns objects into moments. On a terrace flooded with coastal light, the studio’s newest pieces present themselves with understated clarity, their soft colours and organic contours a whisper rather than a declaration.
While Botanica’s forms are influenced by botany, the collection’s colours draw inspiration from gelato, with a palette showcasing Pollen, Mint, Chalk and Rose Swirl alongside new colours Rust, Pistachio and Turquoise, with the homewares exploring buds and leaf like forms through new serving utensils and fluid vase forms. The jewellery introduces the botanical theme in a mix of bold and delicate silhouettes across new design series, the Sprout and Lotus ranges, with pendants, open band styles and refined earring forms defining the collection.
Dinosaur Designs is an Australian studio globally recognised for their handmade resin and metal tablewares, homewares and jewellery. Each piece carries the unmistakable handmade quality that has become their calling card: surfaces that catch light differently depending on how you hold them, colours that seem to shift between kitchen and garden, forms that ask to be touched. The Botanica collection channels this philosophy through botanical inspiration without becoming literal, achieving instead a kind of poetic restraint that speaks to the studio’s maturity as makers.
