Designed environments with Marnie Hammond from DESIGN NATION

From humble beginnings in Canterbury NSW as a trade showroom, Marnie Hammond has transformed Design Nation into thecollection of local and global designer furniture and lighting that it is today. Beginning under the name Café Culture, the brand has developed over the past twenty years through an ethos of living and breathing design. As Marnie says, ‘Design is our DNA; it’s in everything we do’.

With a close relationship to their manufacturers, Design Nation know that the story of each brand is vital to its inclusion in a designed environment. ‘Our products are designed to move and inspire you. They elicit a sense of familiarity or nostalgia. They offer a special and lasting connection, and carry an innate intelligence and functionality that transcends time, place and application.’
