AJAR with love from Spain!

Design Addicts platform delighted to introduce AJAR, the name behind the Collingwood Melbourne based design team who produce, curate and import beautiful pieces for inside and out, including unique Spanish furniture.

The collection of 15 brands, 80 per cent of which are new to Australian shores, is emphatically contemporary and original in design – suited to both commercial and residential applications.

Directors Andrew Boddington (interior designer), Josep Vallhonrat (Spanish born and trained architect) and Richard Fanale (interior designer), joined forces in 2012 to launch the niche business. They have also pooled the letters of their first names to arrive at the clever acronym – AJAR. In a play on the definition – of leaving the door partly open, “the underlying philosophy of AJAR is to be open to new design and ideas,” explains Vallhonrat.

The trio identified the Australian marketplace’s eagerness for something fresh and an unfilled gap for Spanish product.
