Dinosaur Designs Duo Louise Olsen and Stephen Ormandy launch their newest collection, Moss, just in time for winter.
Moss is inspired by the dewy undergrowth of an autumn morning, with a wonderful palette of lush greens reminiscent of ancient mosses that carpet forest floors and thrive on the rich soils that lie underfoot. Hues are balanced, restful and soothing, combined with jewellery and homewares forms inspired by earth, rocks and flowers.
Moss introduces new classic brass jewellery and homewares, rendered in shapes that connect directly with nature. New Organic Ball earrings and necklaces, for example, draw on dewdrops for inspiration and paperweights evoke the smooth contours of stones.

Black Marble is the 2016 showcase collection, by Dinosaur Designs’ Creative Directors Louise Olsen and Stephen Ormandy.
The collection features a monochromatic palette, with black and white pigment blended to create intricate marble textures, evoking a sense of mystery and drama. Polished and matt surfaces provide contrast, and brass and muted tones of stone white and grey add fresh accents. In the homewares, boulder forms dominate, and classic Dinosaur Designs shapes such as the Earth Bowl and Pebble Vase take on dark, charcoal hues marbled with white. There are two additions to the range, a new brass rock ornament and a brass vase; artful statement pieces which add a golden accent to the Black Marble collection.
In the jewellery range, organic petal and pebble inspired motifs create dramatic yet wearable pieces. Black Marble incorporates iconic shapes from collections such as Rainforest and Flower, brought together under a unifying colour palette.
Says Louise Olsen of the collection, “It has been wonderful to explore the complexity and beauty of black marble through resin, and to work with a darker colour palette. It’s always so surprising how much a form is changed by its colour and texture. The Black Marble casting has brought a completely different look and feel to some of our classic shapes and styles, and I love that its mood is quite different to the rest of the Dinosaur Designs collection.”
Black Marble will be available in Dinosaur Designs’ Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, New York, London and online stores from 1st March 2016. Internationally renowned photographer Hugh Stewart shot the collection flower by Tracy Deep Floral Sculptures
CONGRATULATONS to Local Aussie Favourite Dinosaur Designs who are Celebrating 30 years this year. To Celebrate this milestone Stephen Ormandy and Louise Olsen have released Rainforest to mark the special occasion.

Celebrated Australian Artists and co-founders of Dinosaur Designs Stephen Ormandy and Louise Olsen unveil their latest body of work, in partnership with the Olsen Irwin gallery, at ART15 London, held at Olympia from 21 – 23 May 2015. It is the first time that the pair has shown at the London art fair, and their works will appear alongside other artists from the Olsen Irwin stable, including works by Lucien Freud, Henry Moore, Nicholas Harding and John Olsen.
Stephen Ormandy’s paintings (below) and sculptures are inspired by the natural world. The foundation of his painting is a strong design element together with a great understanding of the nuance and potential of colour and form. He works with solid colour and soft organic shapes which bounce off each other, creating an enduring vibrancy. In the works on show in London,
Ormandy explores the intersection of the natural world with the digital age, using line, tone, shape and colour. His sculptures, created from marble and gesso on pine, bring a 3D element to this exploration of the relationship between the digital and natural world.
Louise Olsen will be exhibiting a collection of Liquid Moon tables and her new Moon table inspired by natural forms (below) including a selection of new pieces which resemble artful agate forms with mesmerising patterns. The colours range from cool blues to vibrant warm orange and red tones, with a smaller table in a rich yellow. Each table is a created by hand in the iconic Dinosaur Design resin.
Im loving this latest collection by Aussie Design Heroes Dinosaur Designs.
As always there is a beauty in simplicity this one is all about the shapes – the inspiration is apparent Flower.
I was lucky enough to recently visit their London and New York Stores where Flower was in store in full bloom.
