Bond Theory to illustrate interior diversity at Design Show Australia

Emma Foster, Kristy Lawrence and Jenna Leader formed their studio, Bond Theory, in 2019. Since then, the interior design company has become known for its fully integrated design style/approach that brings function, aesthetic, location and the client together. “After years of working for larger corporate firms, we felt a disconnect in delivering projects to clients. Our aim in starting Bond Theory was to encourage these bonds to create better relationships for work, life, and project outcomes,” says Emma Foster, Co-founder of Bond Theory.

Bond Theory’s previous projects, such as The Pavilion, Gisborne Manors and UKO Alexandria, offer an infusion of organic materials and textures. Emma: “We don’t have a fixed aesthetic, projects are uniquely driven by brand, function, location and client. 

"Our intent is to incorporate natural materials to maintain an honesty, an authentic sense of quality and are utilised to celebrate a connection to the site.” adds Emma.

The team at Bond Theory work together from the initial planning stages right through to the final design execution, ensuring the design intent meets the project’s objectives. “Through our bond we collaborate closely, sharing knowledge and insights, derived from our broad expertise in hospitality, workplace, residential, retail and health,” says Emma.

Design Show Australia is a highlight industry event with a plethora of premium brands, manufacturers and suppliers joining designers, specifiers and buyers to discover curated and authentic design. Members of the ArchiPro team will be on-site at the company’s stand – which was designed by Bond Theory – and visitors are invited to learn more about the ArchiPro online platform and its innovative approach to connecting homeowners with the best in the design industry.

“We are passionate about connecting people with space. [Working] with ArchiPro aligns to our ethos of nourishing the bond and working with industry colleagues for best outcomes,” says Emma.

“We’re going to have the ArchiPro stand transition from a lounge area encasing furniture that straddles commercial and residential by Florabelle. A uniquely designed coffee counter by CASF Corian will display Little Hamptons Brick Co brick upstand as you move through to the mingle bar area that showcases Level Furniture solutions outdoor range,” Emma explains.

“We’ll be showcasing a variety of products and professionals with residential and commercial furniture, architectural building products and interior soft finishing – all to illustrate diversity,” adds Emma.

ArchiPro is the presenting partner at Design Show Australia, which runs from 15 – 17 June at Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.
