In this episode, Arielle sits down with artist Edward Woodley, the co-founder of China Heights. They discuss the evolution of the gallery and his role as a gallery director. He talks about the importance of partnerships and the benefits of working with a business-savvy partner. Eddie also shares his multidisciplinary approach to art and his childhood growing up in a creative environment. He explains how China Heights started as a collective and transformed into a gallery and the challenges and successes they've experienced over the years. Edward discusses the gallery's representation of artists and the criteria they look for in selecting artists to work with. He also touches on their partnerships with other businesses, such as Paramount House and an upcoming project in Taylor Square. China Heights is a gallery that aims to change the traditional gallery model by fostering a partnership between the artist and the gallery. They prioritise open dialogue and collaboration, treating the relationship as a partnership rather than a hierarchical structure. The gallery focuses on showcasing a diverse range of artists and their work, with an emphasis on supporting and developing the artist's career. They also work on various projects, including collaborations with brands and hotels to integrate art into different spaces. The gallery encourages artists to use social media as a tool to showcase their work and build a community. Patience and consistency are key in the art world, and artists should focus on creating meaningful work rather than seeking immediate success.

In this episode, Steffanie Ball, founder and CEO of En Gold shares the journey of her business. She starting by sourcing vintage pieces on Facebook marketplace to designing her own collections, sold internationally. She explains how she discovered a gap in the market for unique and affordable furniture in Australia, which led her to start an Instagram account and eventually launch En Gold.

We discussed the challenges she faced in sourcing and manufacturing her products, including finding a stonemason to make marble plinths and navigating the production process in China. She also highlights the importance of embracing imperfections and the philosophy of Wabi Sabi in her designs.

En Gold is a furniture brand that specialises in handcrafted pieces made from native materials in the Philippines. The founder, Arielle Thomas, moved her family to the Philippines to be closer to the craft and ensure the pieces were made with justice. The brand's range includes Dali collections made from native timbers, seagrass, and rattan. The craft in the Philippines is untouched by technology, with everything being done manually. The process of creating En Gold's furniture involves hand braiding, hand weaving, hand sanding, hand painting, and screen printing. The brand also uses fossil stone, which is a soft and porous stone that is carved into tiles and used in their furniture.
