Damian’s passion for colour and texture, combined with his deep appreciation for quality craftsmanship, aligns seamlessly with the essence of Italian design.

Recently I had the pleasure of walking through the iconic Degraves Street checking out “Look up to the Future” – A powerful visual campaign by the Department of Education that puts a spotlight on the VCE Vocational Major.
A steel look feature door for a third of the price?! You can see why I said YES to Melbourne Glass Co’s revolutionary aluminium feature doors at my recent project.

This week we said goodbye to our Nonna, Domenica Giuliani.
Born in the beautiful mountains of Abruzzo, Italy — she is the heart of everything we are.
Many of you know I basically grew up at Nonna’s house —her kitchen, her garden, her table.
And when the time came to start Grafico, it was her garage where it all began. She kept me going with countless espressos and pizelle and never once doubted what I was building.
Nonna was the OG matchmaker — she just didn’t tell us. While Adele and I had already started dating, our Nonnas had quietly been building their own friendship. They’d met looking after their husbands in the same nursing home, and kept it going with regular phone calls — completely unaware their grandchildren had found each other. When we finally connected the dots, we couldn’t believe it.
After that, we always joked it was basically an arranged marriage by Nonnas. 💛
She fed us with her hands. She shared her culture with us. She loved every one of her 5 children, 11 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren with her whole soul.
The table will feel quieter — but her warmth will never leave us.
She lived an incredible 98 years.
Riposa in pace, Nonna. Domenica Giuliani — 1928–2026

This year, I’m choosing to be an Ambassador for the 13th year of Melbourne City Mission’s “Sleep At The ‘G”. 🎉
Can you believe, on any given night in Victoria, 7,600 young people experience homelessness. 😳
Held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on May 14, as a vital fundraiser providing stable housing and wrap-around-support services.
Youth homelessness is not a choice. It is the direct result of disadvantage leading to crisis:
👉4 in 5 young people currently homeless experienced family violence
👉54% attended an emergency department for mental health concerns
👉50% of adults experiencing longterm homelessness first became homeless in their teens
👉Change starts with intervention👈
Rally up your workplace, gather your family or fly solo and register to participate this May 14.
🔔 If you would like to donate or register to sleep for to Melbourne City Mission go to : www.sleepattheg.com.au @melbcitymission #sleepattheg

Throwback to this retro revival at @shag_manor as featured on Grand Designs transformations on ABC. 👉Swipe to the end to see the room reveal photos!
ICYMI - We helped Mete & Georgia re-create this retro wallpaper from tiny scraps found hidden under skirting boards of the home! Custom printed to perfection and wrapped around an amazingly impressively styled bathroom by the super creative, retro loving duo.
BTS - picture the scene - it was one hot summer late afternoon and all 3 of us decided to jump in to a small bathroom space to begin the wallpaper installation. Some wonky 70’s plaster and some tense moments later, suffice to say we all got to know each other REALLY well that day working in a small space with no Aircon 😂 We cooled off afterwards with a cruise in the old Benz (which was the obvious delivery vehicle for such retro wallpaper) and admired what was going to be one of the most memorable projects we’ve been involved in for a long time!
