For over five decades, Nexus Designs has created enduring and personal design, expressing authenticity and bringing delight.
Multi-disciplinary to the core, we offer a true integrated service of interior design, product development, colour and trend analysis, graphic design and communication, working within the residential, commercial, government, education and building product manufacturing sectors.
Embodying the unstoppable search for timeless and functional design championed by our founder Janne Faulkner AM, our studio is bright, adaptable and spirited, interesting as much as we are interested, and endlessly inspired by the colour and form found within the unique Australian natural and built environments.
Nexus Designs & Merchant Builders
During the boom of International Modernism in the 1960s, the development group Merchant Builders led the push in Melbourne for an Australian take on Mid-century design. The best architects and designers of the time came together to create the “Australia House”, bringing mass produced, architect-designed houses to the homeowner audience with ground-breaking designs that suited the Australian landscape and climate. Out of this hotbed of creativity and collaboration, Nexus Designs was born.
Learn more about the homes, collaborators and legacy of Merchant Builders, including how Nexus Designs founder Janne Faulkner got the job to craft a striking and unique Modern aesthetic that has stood the test of time.
