Collages Available for sale on Etsy

Original Cards Get high Etsy listing!

House of Origin are pleased to announce we are now selling our beautiful, hand-made collages on Etsy and we are already quite popular!

Only a few days after listing and our store has been "favourited" several times and we are featured on the first page of "collage, cards", with most posted in the top 5 pages.  We have even been included in a "curated" selection of items by an Etsy user, quite the honour.  It's called "Deep Dreaming" and we think our Urban Uprising design fits nicely in the collection.

These beautiful handmade cards are digital prints of Zander's original collages.  They are a striking and unique way to theme up your Christmas wrapping.  

There are no digital touch-ups here, just beautifully crafted collages, scanned and printed.

Head over to our Etsy page for a gander, or purchase from our shop here.

Recent Design Competition Entry

5/10/2015

Jardan's New Kitchen Object Design Competition

House of Origin were a tad late in hearing about this design competition, but we quickly put together this entry because we wanted to test the waters for a new product thats been on the drawing board for a while.

This magnetic knife-block uses the iconic "shadow-board" graphic to bring the tool-shed into the kitchen, arguably the modern arena for experimentation.  

Like all of our products, this would be made using timbers sourced from one of our projects and would be branded with the house's postcode, marking the material's derivation, it's House of Origin.

We may not have won this competition, but that doesn't mean we won't put this into production.  ​Let us know what you think.

House 2022 - Under Construction

2/10/2015

0 Comments

 

You can get a lot done in a few weeks!

House of Origin's House 2022 project is well and truly under way and we are very pleased with the progress being made by everyone involved from Baker Developments.  Like many "Alterations and Additions" this project involves the removal and replacement of the rear of an existing home.  

This extension will flood the newly-opened Kitchen/Living/Dining spaces with loads of light from new glazing and spectacular high ceilings.

Thankfully there have been no major "surprises" with the existing structure, which is always a concern when dealing with original building fabric.  

With construction due to finish in a few weeks, expect to see some exciting "completed" shots soon.  

​Stay tuned.

Collages Now For Sale

Buy prints of our beautiful handmade artworks - A5 or small Tags

House of Origin's director has been busy making some elegant collages in his spare time.
These elegant cards are for sale as either a set of 5 x A5 cards with envelopes or in bags or small, folded tags.

The collages are made with the same intention as our range of homewares, whereby the materials speak for themselves and their pleasure comes from their simple composition.  They are not digitally manipulated in any way; The collage made is the collage printed.

These collage cards are a really lovely and vibrant way to add some dynamic texture to you next set of gifts or Christmas cards. 

We personally love combining them with plain brown, silver or black wrapping paper paper to make a complimentary set of gifts under the Christmas tree.  At least thats what I hope my family thinks! 
PLEASE NOTE:
The original collages are not currently available for sale, though please get in touch if you are interested in purchasing one and we can discuss further.  We currently like having them on our office walls :)
They are all around A4 size.

House of Origin delivers lecture in india

11/8/2015

Asadi (Asian school of architecture, design + innovation) request a guest lecture

Earlier this year, House of Origin were very privileged to be asked to speak to the students of the Asian School of Architecture and Design Innovations (ASADI) in Cochin, Kerala, India.  The school has recently moved into new premises and is only in it's third year, but they already have an incredible campus, surrounded by the natural beauty of Kerala's back-waters and general lush environment.  

We were invited to discuss how the House of Origin philosophy fits into the contemporary Australian architectural landscape.  The school has a very strong focus on responsible, green architecture and their faculty building had previously been used as a film-set for some Bollywood movies, so where better to talk about design, adaptive-reuse and repurposing!  

Thanks to all of the staff and students who made us feel so welcome and yes, we'd love to come again!  And thanks to Rohan Abraham of "Explore India" for making introductions and providing such tantalising eco-tours.  Next year!

ETSY + DAVID JONES POP-UP SHOP A HUGE SUCCESS!

2/2/2015

HOUSE OF ORIGIN SELLS OUT OF REPURPOSED STOCK!

House of Origin were completely wrapped to be invited to attend our second "Unwrap Etsy" pop-up shop, this time at David Jones and just in time for Christmas, over the weekend of 4th-10th December.

We had a splendid 4 days of talking with the other amazing sellers, the incredible Etsy support staff as well as our many customers and potential clients.

The feedback to our product range was so positive that we sold out of our entire range or repurposed cutting boards, though some customers professed they'd never conscionably be able to bring themselves to cut on our boards.  But thats a good thing!  So much love for our beautiful boards, it was sad but liberating setting them free into the wild!

We had such a great time and really look forward to launching our new range this year and hopefully collaborating with Etsy again to participate in their next pop-up shop, so keep you eyes on our website for future in-store appearances.
