Designer’s Brief: Laura Oczos

Sydney-based interior designer Suzanne Gorman creates sophisticated and achievable looks for these five works of art.

For Laura Oczos’ colourful work I’ve selected furniture items that are soft and organic in their form, echoing the shapes featured in the artwork. I’ve kept the furniture colours to a minimum, selecting muted tones of dark green to offset the more vibrant hues of the painting. Anna Karlin’s Puddle coffee table is honest in its materiality, showing its rawness and imperfections, while Jardan’s Olive sideboard has a very refined and smooth aesthetic. Together with Kelly Wearstler’s Morro sofa and Studio Alm’s Don Giovanni lamp in green and grey, these furniture pieces create a harmonious backdrop for Oczos’ bold work.
