Nothing can prepare you for the epic beauty of Vietnam. I feel lucky to have spent the Holiday Season in this beautiful country, mostly spending my time in two cities. The charming Hanoi in the North, and Hoi An in the Tropical South. 

It's been another busy year at Something Beginning With and as the year comes to a close, we are excited to welcome two brand new designs to our collection.

Our table collection stands testament that clever design and local manufacturing is the prefect recipe for creating a versatile and beautiful range of tables that will make a stunning addition to any environment.

We are thrilled to finally share our brand new showroom in downtown Collingwood.

We are pleased to announce that Ren chairs in White, Black stained and Natural Beech are now available for immediate delivery from our Melbourne warehouse.

Whether it’s for a comfortable perch at the bar or a seat for an unexpected extra guest, the humble stool is one of the most flexible pieces of furniture and our own range is no exception.

We love working on hospitality projects that aim to create something special for their clientele. This was the intention for the design of Waterslide Bar, Melbourne’s latest cocktail lounge, and we had a great time working with the wonderful Techne Architecture on the project.

It’s been another exciting month for us at Something Beginning With including the completion of one of our latest projects for HESTA Super with the gorgeous team at Hot Black Interior Design.

We are excited to be able to share the latest addition to the Something Beginning With family, the Oscar sofa!

We often get asked where our products are made and for that matter, why we keep our manufacturing here in Australia....

Confronted by a specific workplace ethos, focusing on collaboration, inspiration, transparency and functionality for its staff, we feel that the talented team at Valmont Interiors has hit the nail on the head for their client NTT Communications.....

People always ask us how we go about designing a new product for our range.  What is the process?  How do we start?  Well here it is, our formula.  The method to our madness...
