This week, we’re joined by one of Melbourne’s most respected creative forces - Mark Douglass, a renowned glass artist and designer with over 30 years of experience crafting sculptural lighting and bespoke interiors.

Mark’s journey began with a love of painting and sculpture, but it was glass - a medium of both fragility and strength - that became his signature. His hand-blown glass lighting can be found in luxury hotels, high-end residences, and award-winning developments across the country.

In this episode, we explore:

•  How Mark transitioned from fine art to functional design
•  His collaborations with architects, designers, and developers
•  What really goes into hand-blowing a custom light piece
•  The importance of storytelling and individuality in design
•  Why custom design matters more than ever in today’s interiors

It’s a rich conversation about creativity, craftsmanship, and building a business rooted in collaboration and artistic integrity.

Whether you're a design enthusiast, creative entrepreneur, or just love a beautifully lit space — this one’s for you.
