The concept of a neat and simple reality is being questioned by scientists and philosophers who increasingly discover a far more chaotic world where opposites coexist and boundaries are simply illusions. The Didier Design Studio has long intuited a world where art meets design, craft blends with engineering and utilitarianism embraces luxury.
Designer Ross Didier begins with a creative concept that can be inspired by simple folk tales (the 2011 Fable Collection), functional pets (Vue de Monde seating Range), the Rise-and-Fall of Empires (the 2016 First Bite Collection) or his latest Puffalo Lounging collection inspired by the exotic explorations of Africa and Asia.
Didier’s creative furniture design and production practice has always been open to boundless manufacturing techniques, materials and ways of thinking. Studying both Industrial Design and Fine-Art Sculpture at RMIT, Didier always saw furniture design as the closest commercial connection to sculpture.

Product Highlight
TanGuor Outdoor Collection
TanGuor by Didier is an evocative outdoor furniture range, captivating the Golden Hour of day: a mystical time for easing back into the late afternoon’s mood of ambient light. With lounging references to long, languorous afternoons, whiling away under verandas, the collection is designed for relaxing back in styled comfort.
TanGuor comprises modular seating, arms, ottomans, low tables, sun loungers, and umbrellas, that can stand alone as individual pieces or assembled together creating bespoke, lounging configurations.
Each piece is masterfully crafted with a slatted timber structure that create striking forms, and gradually patinas to a beautiful silver-grey. Low-lying tabletops in textured marble complement the range with accents of warm earth tones, providing raw materiality and naturalness.
Broad French seams frame the upholstery in a selection of neutral fabric hues that calm the mood, and optional loose cushions layer in richer colour combinations. The belt & buckles complete the TanGuor styling making elegant focal points that ties the collection together.
