Four Offerings from Tom Fereday's 2025 NAU Lineup: Materials Narrate Their Own Stories
Dive into Tom Fereday's latest masterpiece for the Winter 2025 season, courtesy of NAU Design, Melbourne. This 4-piece furniture collection is a testament to the flawless blend of contemporary Aussie design with traditional manufacturing values, destined for the global design scene.
Let's break it down with a closer look at the highlights:
The Ayva Table: Small Space Dining Done Right
The Ayva table strikes the perfect balance between efficient space use and eye-catching design. Replacing conventional four leg construction with a single flowing leg from the floor to tabletop, this visually light yet robust piece caters to cozy dining areas. The sculptural base brings a sense of visual intrigue from all angles, turning a functional piece into spatial accents.
Crafted from solid timber, each table boasts unique grain patterns and natural characteristics, reflecting the wood's true essence. The manufacturing process emphasizes traditional joinery methods for lasting quality without skimping on stylish versatility.
The Cove Collection: Unmasking Timber's Beauty
Showcasing the raw wood framework instead of concealing it with upholstery, the Cove armchair and accompanying table embody structural honesty. Feathered cushions take care of comfort to let the wooden framework, with its carefully considered joinery and wood grain patterns, shine.
Both pieces maintain cohesion through material language and proportional consistency, with the table's base mirroring the chair's structural integrity. The combination showcases the contrast between hard timber and soft cushioning in an elegant interplay of materials.
The Nola Lamp: Light in a New Perspective
The Nola lamp series plays with lighting effects and reaction to internal illumination, available in striking hand-cast crystal glass and sleek honed stone versions. Crystal glass creates light refraction, while stone variants offer warm diffusion, emphasizing surface textures. Different manufacturing processes create exceptional charm in both versions, with slight variations contributing to unique light dispersion patterns.
The Sia Outdoor: Nature-Inspired Durability
Born from the original indoor design, the weather-resistant outdoor Sia chair thrives in the great outdoors. By tweaking the design to withstand environmental wear, the chair maintains its sculptural qualities while delivering exceptional durability. Material selection focuses on UV resistance, moisture protection, and temperature stability, giving a nod to Mother Nature's aesthetic principles without compromising function.
Say goodbye to bulky outdoor chairs. The Sia's stacking feature elevates storage options and functionality, making it an ideal addition to your outdoor space.
NAU Design: Striking the Right Balance
NAU Design's Aussie roots run deep, influencing both their design philosophy and manufacturing skills. By harnessing local production, they create pieces tailored to Aussie manufacturing methods while catering to global design tastes. The brand's upcoming association with the Australia Pavilion at World Expo 2025 in Osaka emphasizes their role as ambassadors of top-notch Australian design on the world stage.
With growing recognition from international design publications, partnerships like the European debut at 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen, and a local exhibition during Melbourne Design Week with Artedomus (May 15-25, 2025), NAU is poised to carve its mark on the international design scene while staying connected to their roots.
Are you ready for a furniture collection that exudes simplicity, functionality, and local charm with a touch of global sophistication? Prepare to be floored by Tom Fereday's Winter 2025 collection for NAU Design.
