Name: Bettina Deda

City: Sydney, Australia

Describe your style:
My style is very eclectic. I love antique, vintage and industrial furniture and decorative pieces, but have also contemporary furniture in our house. It is a mix that has been collected over the years and reminds me of different times in my life. I love collecting natural objects (stone, feathers, seed pods etc) and display them. I bring souvenirs from our holidays to decorate my spaces. I am a colour lover and colour plays an important role in my life. Everything I buy has to speak to me. I paint myself and have my personal artwork on my walls.

Favorite Hobby?
Painting, art

Favorite Color?
Purple in all its tonal variations.

Fav Designer?
I admire the designers of the Art Nouveau period, eg. Charles Rennie Macintosh for his fantastic chair designs or Emile Galle who designed the most beautiful glass objects.
