MAKER & ME WITH ALTA INTERIORS
October 1, 2025 | By The Textile Company | News
The Textile Company proudly launched our new Maker & Me event series with an inspiring evening in our Prahran showroom, featuring the talented team from Alta Interiors. The event brought together designers and industry friends for a masterclass and Q&A with founders Alistair Tait and Steve Andreae, the creative duo behind the brand. Guests were treated to an inside look at Alta’s approach to handcrafted design, exploring the artistry, skill and detail that define their locally made furniture.
Throughout the session, Alistair and Steve shared insights into their design process, sustainable practices and how customisation plays a key role in creating meaningful, enduring pieces. Their passion for local making and commitment to quality craftsmanship resonated strongly with the audience, sparking thoughtful conversations about creativity, materiality and the value of supporting Australian makers.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this inspiring first Maker & Me event — a celebration of creativity, collaboration and the enduring artistry that defines Australian design.

“Step into the 55 North project at Manly Pacific, where Luchetti Krelle has created a cocktail lounge that effortlessly blends elegance with the laid-back charm of its beachside setting. Fabricut’s Modern Aztec-Raven fabric, sourced from India, brings a vibrant yet subtle flair to the scatter cushions, with bold patterns and spiced tonal accents that invigorate the space while maintaining a focus on comfort.”

EAST TOOWOOMBA 2
by Ivy + Piper
“We sourced the Fabricut Bazaar fabric in blue for use as a custom made ottoman in our family friendly living room at our East Toowoomba 2 project. We find patterns in family zones are very forgiving for clients with little ones and all of the associated wear and tear! This room needed a vibrant fabric that was going to anchor the other patterned fabrics utilised in this layered room instead of competing with them… The paisley did just that! The trim was a fun addition that gave the ottoman some formality and structure and kept the multicoloured space looking refined.”
