The Specified

Founded by Vange Markou, The Specified is a curated design destination that brings an Australian aesthetic into the global discourse. From hardware and lighting to rugs, textiles and furniture, it celebrates the enduring, poetic beauty of Australian design - with its touchstones in material authenticity, quiet and bold hues found in nature, and the resonant mark of the maker. Featuring brands such as rug maker Armadillo, clay craftspeople Anchor, hardware makers Bankston, and the marble and terracotta masters New Volumes, the collection is tempered by clean, considered spatial compositions.
