The best souvenirs aren’t the expensive ones… they’re the ones with a story. 🇭🇰 I found this at a Hong Kong market and couldn’t leave without it.
Super kitsch or super cool? You decide.

There’s been plenty of talk this week that Fiat/Abarth could be disappearing from Australia… and honestly, that would be a sad day for car enthusiasts. 🦂🇮🇹
I’ve owned a lot of cars over the years, but there’s just something about my Abarth. It’s got character, personality, and it puts a smile on my face every single time I drive it.
Whether the rumours are true or not, I’ll be hanging onto mine. Some cars are more than just transport—they become part of you.
Long live the Scorpion. ❤️🦂

So inspiring to see the difference this cause continues to make in the lives of children and their families. ❤️👏

There’s a first time for everything — and designing wallpaper for a pub toilets on national television is one we’ll never forget. 😄
Last night we joined our good mate @theshanejacobson on ‘Oops I Bought a Pub’ on channel 7 to bring some seriously good design energy to some seriously quirky bathrooms.
The walls don’t lie. Thanks for having us, Kenny… I mean Shane. 🍺 😉

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
