March Studio
Rodney Eggleston and Anne-Laure Cavigneaux are the directors of March Studio, a Melbourne-based practice known for its multidisciplinary approach to architecture, graphic, interiors and industrial design.
In this episode, Rodney, Anne-Laure and Dave discussed:
- The influence their early years in Rotterdam had on their views about the role and value of design, and the unique ideas and approaches they brought back to Australia with them.
- Why they’ve tried to avoid being typecast or tied to a specific stylistic approach or project type, and how you can position your practice to speak to range of project types and scales.
- How they’ve designed their physical studio environment to encourage creativity and experimentation, and the important role physical model making, prototyping, hand drawing and fabrication have played in their work.
- The importance their work on Aesop stores had on their practice, particularly from a learning and experimentation perspective, how they think about managing long-term partnerships with a fast-growing brand.
