‘Studio Cockatoo’ is small design space nestled deep, deep in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in Queensland. This is where the husband and wife team of Luke & Kate Bordessa busily create beautiful geometric modern Art to adorn our walls.
All of their designs are created ‘in house’ and their range is constantly growing and evolving, as they predict trends in Interiors and Art….or just go with a ‘gut’ feel of what would be fantastic! Their works are colourful, some very quirky and a fun!
Kate & Luke are both Graphic Designers and have a very creative a background….it’s really been a logical progression that ‘Studio Cockatoo’ evolved.
Luke is a super keen Photographer and Kate is a sketch Artist……a combination made in heaven in my opinion! By combining these mediums and many, many hours working through ‘Illustrator’ and ‘Photoshop’ they achieve their incredibly striking works.
They are often asked about their ‘design processes’ and what inspires them…it’s mostly nature and animals, as they attempt to capture their ‘style’ while working their pictures into a modern geometrical form.
I am a huge fan of ‘Studio Cockatoo’s’ work and already have 3 ‘Star Wars’ prints in my collection of Art. My youngest son, Maxwell, said to me when I gave him his print….”Mum, this is my first piece of real Art”……Hmmm….. influenced by his mum perhaps?
Studio Cockatoo’s philosophy when it comes to design is ‘keep it simple & keep it fresh’. They do all of our their own printing and packaging in-house and wherever possible they use eco-friendly methods. The prints are also printed onto high quality archival 190 gsm paper. They also specialise in custom designs….so send them your favourite image to turn in a geometrical masterpiece!
Kreo Home stock Studio Cockatoo prints in their online store, and were stoked when they donated 5 prints in the ‘Local is the new black’ giveaway….how generous are they!
Make sure you pop over to their webpage and order away for Xmas…don’t you just love them!
