We were thrilled when Sandbox Properties approached us to create a custom finishes box for their latest development, Ayre. This exclusive collection of four canal-front homes showcases a striking façade inspired by the rich hues of the Australian landscape. Raw concrete and ochre tones blend seamlessly with carefully selected native flora and mature trees, creating a harmonious connection to the natural surroundings.

To bring this vision to life, our in-house joinery team crafted a bespoke presentation box using native Australian timber. Wrapped in a custom fabric that aligns perfectly with the project’s branding, the box features a sleek logo on both the interior and exterior. A spot varnish pattern adds an extra layer of detail, reinforcing the development’s unique aesthetic.

Inside, a removable panel presents a beautifully curated selection of images and descriptions showcasing the materials used in the homes. Beneath this panel, physical samples of each material invite potential buyers to touch and experience them firsthand, transforming the box into a truly interactive and immersive tool.

We were recently contacted by the team at Nitrocross to create a fresh new concept for their 2024 event medals. The goal was to create a unique design that was a modern take on the traditional medal. The design team took careful consideration in choosing materials that aligned with their signature colours. The final result combined layered black and brushed metallics, enhanced with printed text and logos to give the medals a sleek, modern aesthetic.

To distinguish the different rankings, we incorporated a striking combination of gold, silver, and bronze, adding a dynamic touch to each piece. The finished product was a creative twist on the classic medal design, offering something fresh while still honouring tradition.

Collaborating with the Nitrocross team was an absolute pleasure, and we’re excited about the results. If you’re looking for a custom design for your next event, we’d love to help bring your vision to life. Reach out to us today to get started!

Renowned First Nations musician and the world’s foremost didgeridoo virtuoso, William Barton, has embarked on a remarkable collaboration with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO). Together, they are spearheading an ambitious new initiative that seeks to nurture the next generation of storytellers and songsmiths, inviting them to join in crafting a harmonious ode to the land.

Titled “Warrma piipa ngatji patija; kutu patija; ngata waru” (translated as “Songbook: My Story; Your Story; Our Journey”), this multi-year endeavor commenced in the heart of William Barton’s ancestral homeland, Mount Isa/Kalkadoon, with a sacred Ceremony marking the beginning of this unique partnership with QSO. Over the course of this journey, William Barton and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra will traverse various communities, including Cairns/Yarrabah, Rockhampton/Woorabinda, Gold Coast/Yugambeh, Charleville/Bidjara, finishing in Mount Isa/Kalkadoon.

The visionary concept of this venture was brought to life through a collaboration with Biren Consultancy, tasked with designing and crafting a contemporary message stick. This innovative message stick was intended to accompany William and the QSO team throughout their travels, symbolizing the interconnectedness of their journey.

To bring this modern message stick to fruition, our dedicated team engaged in a series of design and production meetings in house and with Biren Consultancy. With beautiful native Australian Spotted Gum timber as the primary material, we adorned the message stick with laser-etched Indigenous artwork, logos, and text, honouring the rich cultural heritage of the endeavor. To secure the USB drive and GPS tracking device, recessed cavities were carefully integrated into the message stick, topped with a secure plate to guarantee their safe passage.

The message stick incorporated state-of-the-art technology, featuring a GPS tracking device that allowed online monitoring of the message stick’s progress. Furthermore, it housed a USB drive designed to store footage and music from each event, ensuring that the rich tapestry of experiences and expressions could be shared with each new community along the way.

Pipi’s is an opulent development nestled along the exquisite Gold Coast shoreline. It represents the pinnacle of luxury living and has been brought to life by the boutique property developer, Siera Group. We were contacted by Siera Group and their Graphic Designer ABCD Haus with the goal of designing and manufacturing an elegant presentation box destined to showcase the exquisite finishes adorning this prestigious development.

Our design team embarked on a journey to encapsulate the essence of the Pipi’s brand, selecting a luxurious rose gold mirror finish that harmoniously resonates with the development’s signature soft pink brand palette. The exterior was designed with a warm oat-coloured fabric that not only compliments the brand palette but was chosen to emulate the warm sandy beaches of the Gold Coast. The exterior of the box was then complemented with a discreet timber shadow line.

As the box is opened, a soft frosted acrylic panel is revealed, bearing the development’s captivating tagline, which in itself, is a work of art. Once the frosted cover plate is removed, the Pipi’s interior finishes samples are unveiled. Each of these samples is framed by an additional panel printed with correlating captions.

The Queensland Government Reconciliation Awards are an esteemed annual event, dedicated to honoring outstanding collaborations and projects that propel reconciliation forward across businesses, community organizations, educational institutions, and government agencies.

This year, we had the privilege of collaborating with the Queensland Government to craft a brand-new design for the 2023 awards. Drawing inspiration from the profound heritage of the land, we were provided with indigenous artwork from Gilimbaa, an Indigenous creative agency. This powerful and captivating artwork served as the foundation for our artistic journey.

The design team sought to create an award that would not only be a symbol of recognition but also a piece of art in its own right. We envisioned a design that embraced the essence of the indigenous artwork while infusing it with a sense of depth and dimension.

To bring this vision to life, selected a thoughtful blend of timber and acrylic—a meticulous combination that allowed us to artistically deconstruct the artwork into multiple layers, achieving a unique 3D effect.

The timber base became a canvas for innovation, laser-cut to mirror the lines and patterns of the artwork. The logos and text were laser-etched the onto the base, adding a touch of sophistication and personalization.

Nautique is an industry leading American boat manufacturer that produces the very best waterski, wakeboard and wakesurf boats on the market.

One of our favourite long-standing U.S. clients, Nautique, contacted us once more to have a highly original and personalised piece made for their 2022 Dealers Awards. For the awards, we were challenged with developing a fresh look that reflected the features of their boats. We were able to base the design around the unique geometric pattern that features heavily throughout their vessels, from the speaker design, seat upholstery and faceted sides of the hull.

To develop these awards, our design team used a unique blend of materials and printing procedures. The body of the awards were made from black stained timber with features of spot gloss and UV embellishments. We designed and manufactured 3D geometric patterns to protrude out of the award face creating a unique look. A combination of black, gold, silver, and white brand colours were chosen for the various categories of awards.

Gold Coast Marathon is a world class international event and has excitingly entered its 43^rd consecutive year! The event attracts participants of all ages and abilities, combining multiple 42km, 21km, 10km, 5km and CPL Wheelchair Marathon races.

This year, we were contacted to create something a little different to align with the new branding for the event. Their new branding includes a wide range of bright, vibrant colours and a wave like pattern. The design team wanted to make both elements a huge feature of the new awards.

We used a combination of native Australian timber and layers of acrylic to achieve bold, eye-catching feature numbers that correlate to the kilometres the athletes run. Layers of acrylic were laser cut to shape, printed and layered upon one another to achieve a 3D effect and a unique sense of depth. All text and logos were laser etched onto the body of the award, with the edges left exposed to reveal the varying colours used within the award.

The team at NASA wanted to create two extremely unique trophies, with the nature of the awards being ‘innovation’.

For all of these awards, we used a combination of acrylic and layers of timber stacked upon each other to create a detailed 3D effect. On the James Kerley award, to create an even further sense of depth we included laser cut screen details to create a 3D tunnel to emphasise the portrait into the centre of the trophy, creating an eye-catching focal piece.

The 2022 King of the Mountain race was part of a new inaugural race held in Toowoomba and is Queensland’s newest slot race. The race is a 1200m sprint and is worth $750,000 in prize money, with the winner receiving a wild card entry into the $1 millions Magic Millions QTIS race.

We were contacted to create this prestigious trophy for the race day, with a request to feature a piece of jewellery that was hand crafted by a local jeweller in Toowoomba. Hogan’s Family Jewellers presented us with the dazzling piece of jewellery to base the trophy design around, which included 18 carat gold and a diamond set crown.

After the jewellery piece was delivered to us, we got to work on the design phase of the trophy design, brainstorming concepts. We created this luxurious trophy to replicate the peaks of a mountain, using a combination of laser cut timbers and soft frosted white acrylics to create a modern, abstract mountain scape. We used a mixture of laser etched and gold text on the base of the trophy, to tie in with the gold of the jewellery feature piece.
