For grand statement ceramic pieces or petite delicate objects, head to The Dea Store in Sydney, a curated collection of exquisite Japanese and Australian Ceramics.  Upon entering this Redfern store for the first time it quickly becomes apparent, that choosing your favourite piece will be a slow process due to the incredible selection of hand-picked art works.

For contemporary flowers with a local twist, we partner with the talented Dani Dean from The Make Haus. Dani Dean creates considered floral arrangements from her Northern Beaches studio and has expanded the Make Haus' offer to include interior design alongside her work as an imaginative and resourceful floral stylist including product design in the way of the console featured in the shoot. 

“We have been delighted to work alongside Mokum, their artisan approach to fabric application is mesmerising. The inspiration given by Stephanie for Ikigai was delicate, soft, interesting and worldly.  I thoroughly enjoy curating very unusual shapes and big scale moments with florals. I always look for the unusual, hard to find florals for Mokum, something that’s not typically seen is an ideal ingredient.”  Dani Dean, Stylist. 

A treasure trove emporium by designer, creative director & author Sibella Court, this unique store transports you into the imaginative and creative world of bespoke, handcrafted products from Sibella’s hardware & homegoods, collaborations & curiosities sourced from her travels.

Styling accessories such as the lanterns and vintage stool sourced from The Society inc, provided the wabi sabi aesthetic of Ikigai.

Last, but not least, we recommend a visit to our friends at Cult Design for Hay’s timber pendant. Cult has a comprehensive, quality range of local and international furniture and lighting brands and they are passionate about authentic, quality and timeless design, ensuring only the highest levels of craftsmanship in their products.

Selecting a timeless piece from Cult will help achieve the contemporary vision of Ikiagi.

With any new collection, the designers at Mokum strive to create collection imagery which speak to the conceptual theme of the collection and relate to how we live in Australasia.  And it is only through close collaboration with other specialist local artisans that the vision can come to life.  

“Mokum loves collaborating with local creatives. We always strive to deliver collection imagery which reflects and promotes the diversity and quality of locally designed products available in Australia and New Zealand.”  Stephanie Moffitt, Mokum Design Director
