OLSEN + ORMANDY- inspired by nature & the subconscious

Louise Olsen and Stephen Ormandy established Dinosaur Designs which has grown to be one of Australia’s leading design brands specialising in resin and metal jewellery and home wares for over 30 years.
Alongside their roles as Creative Directors of Dinosaur Designs, Stephen Ormandy and Louise Olsen have maintained and continued their independent artistic practices which comes to prominence in their most recent collaboration with luxury rug brand Designer Rugs.
Unveiled this week the new collection “OLSEN + ORMANDY”, each design has been drawn from their own inspiration; Louise from nature and Stephen of the subconscious mind, harmoniously transposed into a collection of six luxury hand knotted Tibetan wool and silk rugs. Available exclusively from Designer Rugs. “I’ve been inspired by the infinite possibilities in nature: seeds sprout, spores spread, plants
grow and forests come into existence and continue to develop. Watching this is an endless source of inspiration.” Louise Olsen
“My work is born of the subconscious mind. I’m looking for vibration and rhythm, the play of line creating positive and negative space, searching for tonal balance through contrast or harmony, while developing chroma relationships that hug or repel.” Stephen Ormandy
The OLSEN + ORMANDY Designer Rug collection is hand knotted and available in a standard size of 240 x 300 cm with no custom sizing or colouring available in this collection.
