MECQUE (www.mecque.com.au) is the retail destination for designer homewares, fashion, accessories and beauty, combining the best local and international designers. Heralded as Australia’s destination for style, Mecque has been created for design enthusiasts and those who share discerning taste.

Design devotee and Founder of Mecque John Kapos was inspired to create an online lifestyle store for distinctive wares that declares discernment, taste and personality. With a trifecta background in design, architecture and retail, John left his occupation to launch the Mecque marketplace.

Mecque celebrates authentic design as a way of life. ‘The products we present are timeless – trends change, but good design never dies,’ John says.

Each brand represented is selected for the quality and significance of its designs, and accommodates a range of interior styles, curated with the Australian lifestyle in mind. The collection is built by a team of global trend-setters who are constantly on the hunt, exploring the irresistible world of the finest and most distinct versatile products worldwide.

The Australian marketplace is growing increasingly hungry for luxury and one-of-a-kind goods, with seemingly seasonless brass-toned products remaining at the top of the consumers ‘what’s hot’ list.

Be as bold as brass and chase the biggest décor trend this season. The Carl Aubock O Bookends (RRP $755) are crafted from solid brass, feature unique and distinguishable sculptured details and subtle curves inflowing shape with a decadent mix of deep patina and polished brass geometry.

The arresting Leff Amsterdam Tube Wood Clock Brass (RRP $375) is constructed from solid oak and features a brass clock with original design that spins a contemporary and stylish flare. Fusing advanced engineering and artful design, the Craighill Trophy Bottle Opener (RRP $125) is a solid brass statement sculpture.

The Johnathan Adler Globo Box (RRP $439) is the belle of any tabletop. Featuring a polished brass base lined in luxe turquoise velvet, its clear dome lid magnifies its surroundings and creates a luminous and luxurious finish.

Mecque is an authority for home decor, interior design, architecture and lifestyle culture. It is the destination for design.
