Where Tokyo’s minimalism meets Miami’s Art Deco. Discover the Park St transformation by SGKS ARCH.
A project close to home — Arthur G recently collaborated with Henry Sgourakis, the founder of SGKS ARCH, to bring his vision of a peaceful beachside retreat to life. Henry, also the creative force behind Henry and Pi, a design studio known for its thoughtful and innovative approach to interiors, shares Arthur G’s passion for craftsmanship and contemporary design. Together, they created By Henry – a collection designed exclusively for Arthur G, reflecting their shared dedication for refined craftsmanship and modern aesthetics.
For the Park St Project, SGKS ARCH envisioned bringing together Tokyo’s minimalist industrial style with the lively Art Deco charm of Miami and St Kilda, transforming two old properties into a spacious, modern beachside sanctuary. To bring this concept to life, Arthur G designed a custom sunken lounge as the focal point of the living room, creating a space that is both inviting and architecturally striking. Adding to the luxurious feel, custom Arthur G cushions in the decadent aquamarine Catherine Martin fabric provide the perfect finishing touch, enhancing the rich textures and bold aesthetic.
The custom sunken lounge is a true statement piece, defined by its bold, sculptural curves and lush upholstery – wrapped in James Dunlop, Entwine, a rich textured dimensional bouclé, bringing warmth to the space. The Morris Swivel Chair upholstered in Mokum, Vienna Elm, a beautifully soft yet structured weave sits amongst a green tonal room with a vibrant tropical backdrop.
The Park St collaboration is a perfect example of how custom design and innovative architecture work together to create something truly unique.
With over 45 years of experience, Arthur G is renowned for crafting bespoke, handcrafted furniture, proudly made in Melbourne, Australia. Each piece is not only designed with intention but built to stand the test of time.
