Designed Legacy
Billy Collection
Whenever Australian Industrial designer Adam Goodrum and design company, TAIT launch a new collection you know it’s going to be special. Good design should always connect us to place and each other and Goodrum’s outdoor furniture collections are always steeped in nostalgic notions of vintage Australian suburban life, that he cleverly translates into contemporary designs that are meticulously crafted into simple sculptural form alongside complex mechanisms and ergonomic functionality.
“The pieces are very comfortable, and there is a common language across the Billy Collection, to visually enhance a space,” said Goodrum. “It has a relaxed but robust aesthetic, and a nod to the past – backyards filled with hills hoists and above ground pools with tubular designed metal ladders. Yet it has its own unique language. The mechanism for the sunlounger is HOT and the entire frame is fluid.”
Beautifully crafted to incorporate metal, timber, glass and fabric materials into the design, it is the responding introduction of new colour Mountain Blue by Susan Tait that further evolves the Billy Collection, focusing on the calming and versatile palette found in Australia’s landscape which so comfortably finds a home within outdoor living spaces.
“This is a collection that is comfortable, aesthetically beautiful and resolved,” said Tait. “And in many ways the new Mountain Blue colour contributes yet another layer to the story that the entire colour range is telling. This is a collection with exciting scope and versatility. And we’re so proud to have hand crafted the collection from beautiful, sustainable materials from our factory in Melbourne, allowing for us to be playful yet refined to create what we think is something really special.”
“The free form tubular frames define the new Billy Collection – one which spans all aspects of outdoor living. I can visualise the collection being used at a location where you can see all the products in one frame offering continuity across all aspects of a life outside,” added Gordon Tait.
The Billy Collection is available from 11 April 2024 and includes a Sunlounge, Dining Table, Easy Dining Table, Chair, Lounger, Stool/Side Table, Bar cart and upholstery options. It is available in 20 distinct powder coat colour palettes with the Accoya timber option available in a range of six coloured stains using environmentally sustainable oils.
