Design is a Collaboration with Mark Douglass
Description
This week, we’re joined by one of Melbourne’s most respected creative forces - Mark Douglass, a renowned glass artist and designer with over 30 years of experience crafting sculptural lighting and bespoke interiors.
Mark’s journey began with a love of painting and sculpture, but it was glass - a medium of both fragility and strength - that became his signature. His hand-blown glass lighting can be found in luxury hotels, high-end residences, and award-winning developments across the country.
In this episode, we explore:
- How Mark transitioned from fine art to functional design
- His collaborations with architects, designers, and developers
- What really goes into hand-blowing a custom light piece
- The importance of storytelling and individuality in design
- Why custom design matters more than ever in today’s interiors
It’s a rich conversation about creativity, craftsmanship, and building a business rooted in collaboration and artistic integrity.
Whether you're a design enthusiast, creative entrepreneur, or just love a beautifully lit space — this one’s for you.
