Award-winning Australian interior designer Greg Natale is exhibiting at Maison&Objet Paris for the first time this year. The four-day event, which begins today, showcases the latest and best in design from Europe and around the world. The theme for the 2023 event is ‘Take Care’, with a focus on looking after each other and the planet after the challenges of the pandemic.
Aimed at helping businesses in the design sector grow and connect, the show is in its 27th year, with an unrivalled range of exhibitors, talks and seminars.
Following on from the release of his third book last year, The Layered Interior, Natale is bringing to market his latest interior accessories, Fantaisie, inspired by the club scene of the 1970s and 80s. The Debbie ceramics range is a homage to the Blondie frontwoman, with gold ‘studs’ and abstract face motifs. Visage takes its cues from the 1980s Blitz Kids with a little bit of Bowie, Cocteau and Picasso thrown in. The Billy range is also inspired by the 80s scene, with a perforated finish and monochromatic palette.
The latest range will be in addition to Natale’s existing Onda range of stone vessels and joins his considerable stable of homewares that include dinnerware, towels, custom-made rugs, tiles and more.
Maison&Objet will be on in Paris until January 23.

Citizen Kanebridge expands into Sydney’s fast-growing Norwest corridor, bringing the club back to the region where the Kanebridge story was shaped more than two decades ago.

Citizen Kanebridge, one of Australia’s premier private members’ clubs, will open a new chapter in Sydney’s fast-growing Norwest corridor, expanding its physical footprint to meet its property, finance and investment membership base where they live and work.
The club’s primary premises remains the Royal Automobile Club of Australia on Macquarie Street in the Sydney CBD — one of Australia’s most distinguished institutions — where Citizen Kanebridge members continue to enjoy full access to its storied facilities at the heart of the city.
The new Norwest chapter, to be known as Citizen Kanebridge Norwest, will be developed in partnership with Momento Hospitality, with the venue’s top floor facility serving as the primary location for key events.
Norwest has emerged as one of Sydney’s fastest-growing commercial and residential corridors, increasingly home to the developers, financiers and investors at the heart of the Citizen Kanebridge community. The move places the club at the centre of the growth story many of its members are most engaged in.
“Norwest is where the city is moving,” said Ruba Jaajaa, COO of Kanebridge Media. “For a club built around property, finance and investment conversations, it’s simply the right place to be.”
For Jaajaa, the expansion carries a personal resonance as much as a strategic one.
“There is also a wonderful sense of coming full circle in bringing Citizen Kanebridge to Norwest,” she said. “More than 20 years ago, this is where the foundations of the Kanebridge Group were first developed. Returning to the area is a warm opportunity to reconnect with the enduring relationships, trusted conversations and community that have been part of the Kanebridge story since 1999.”
Membership will be offered as a dedicated tier, the Citizen Kanebridge Norwest Individual Membership, including monthly dining credits at Momento Hospitality venues and access to the Sonato global reciprocal club network, spanning more than 250 private clubs worldwide. Members will also receive digital subscriptions to Kanebridge Quarterly, Robb Report Australia & New Zealand, and The Wall Street Journal.
Further details on the launch event calendar, membership applications and transition arrangements will be announced soon.
