Living Edge, Shaping Australian Design Culture for 25 Years

For twenty-five years, Living Edge has curated the world’s most influential design for Australian audiences shaping interiors with pieces that endure beyond trend. Today, it stands as Australia’s definitive design destination, bridging international design culture with a uniquely Australian voice.

Marking a quarter of a century at the forefront of design, Living Edge celebrates 25 years as an icon of the Australian design industry — the definitive destination for architects, designers and collectors seeking the world’s most significant brands. Since its founding, the company has been curating a cultural legacy, bringing the world’s most important design into the Australian context and shaping interiors that endure beyond trend.

From early beginnings in Melbourne to national showrooms, Living Edge has curated an unparalleled portfolio of global names — from Herman Miller and Knoll to Tom Dixon, Muuto, Walter Knoll and many more. Over twenty-five years, it has become more than a commercial furniture supplier and retailer, evolving into a respected custodian of the world’s leading design brands and trusted collaborator for Australia’s leading design voices.

“Design is not just about objects, but about how they shape the way we live and connect,” says Aidan Mawhinney, CEO of Living Edge.

“Our vision has always been to create an environment where the world’s most respected and forward-thinking brands meet a discerning Australian audience. To have worked with the most important names in design for twenty-five years is a privilege — and this milestone is as much about looking ahead as it is about reflecting on the legacy we’ve built.”

As Living Edge enters its next chapter, it does so with sustainability, longevity and cultural relevance at its core. In 2023, the company achieved B-Corp Certification, underscoring a long- standing commitment to ethical and sustainable practice. This ethos — to invest in design that matters, and design that lasts — continues to guide its curatorial approach and future vision.

“Our role has always been to bring authentic and original design into the Australian context, ensuring it carries with it a sense of legacy, longevity and integrity,” Mawhinney continues.

“That dialogue with our clients — of discovery, curation and collaboration — has been at the heart of Living Edge for twenty- five years.”

For 25 years, Living Edge has been curating the world’s most compelling brands for Australian creativity. As it enters its next chapter, the company remains steadfast in its mission: to inspire, to endure, and to shape the future of design.
