Bringing Nostalgia into Retail & Residential Interiors with Brahman Perera
Join us on an insightful journey with the talented designer Brahman Perera as we uncover the past year's highlights in interior design. Ever wondered how rest can spark creativity, or how the cultural tapestry influences your work?
Brahman shares his unique perspective on the power of taking a step back for innovation and how embracing one's cultural identity can transform design. We also highlight the heartwarming generosity within the design community and how these bonds foster genuine friendships and mutual support, especially in vibrant cities like Melbourne.
Explore the fascinating intersection of diversity and design, where personal stories and multicultural backgrounds shape our understanding of identity. We dive into the success story of Brahman's Hopper Joint that opened in March this year, a celebration of Sri Lankan street food that reflects the rich cultural heritage of its founders. The conversation doesn't stop there; we dig into the critical need for more diversity in interior design, particularly in public spaces, to mirror our multicultural societies. Brahma and I emphasize that recognizing and valuing diversity can lead to more inclusive and meaningful designs.
From the evolution of retail design trends to the impact of COVID-19 on commercial and residential spaces, we touch on the dynamic nature of design and the need for adaptability. Whether it's reimagining a spare room or integrating unique elements into retail spaces, thoughtful design can significantly enhance everyday living. Finally, we celebrate the blending of nostalgia and sustainability, highlighting how personal connections and cherished items can create timeless, functional spaces.
