Country Road Champions Sustainable, Timeless Design
Since 1974, Country Road has created quality designs shaped by the Australian way of life. Across Woman, Man, Child and Home, they craft every collection with care and intention.
From iconic silhouettes and material innovation to creative mentorships and biodiversity projects, a shared belief in renewal guides their work every day, keeping them focused on what matters most: thoughtful design, responsible sourcing and enduring style.
Within Country Road Home, sustainability is more than a responsibility - it is a value the product and design teams hold deeply, and it informs every decision. They create pieces that elevate the home while respecting the resources and communities that bring them to life. They believe in the power of new ideas, and in coming together to celebrate creativity and progress. Working across the supply chain, they explore ways to challenge convention and renew the way we source, make and consider the products.
They are also proud to champion local manufacturing and craftsmanship, utilising Australian cotton and wool fibres, as well as incorporating responsibly sourced wool and leather, along with recycled glass, plastics, glazes, and clay slip. Each step reflects a commitment to shape a better future, responding to what matters to the customers, whose loyalty continues to guide them. The design process aims to consider the whole lifecycle, prioritising durability, while also exploring repairability, recyclability, and lower-impact packaging wherever possible in every collection.
Collaboration is also at the heart of Country Road Home. Whether partnering with Australian makers such as Tait, Robert Gordon and Waverley Mills, or working with artists including Kieren Karritpul and Julie White, they bring their values and lifestyle to life through design.
These projects enrich the collections and have a positive impact on the communities they work with, demonstrating that beautiful design and better outcomes can - and should - go hand in hand. “It’s an honour to sponsor the Sustainable Designer of the Year Award, and to celebrate those who share our vision for a more thoughtful and inspiring future.” - Ty Symonds, Head of Design, Country Road Home.
With this ethos of responsibility in design and collaboration in community, Country Road was delighted to sponsor the House & Garden Sustainable Designer of the Year Award and warmly congratulates BYLD Developments on their win. Known for their commitment to sustainable architecture and design, the two have shared values which emphasise that the future of design is rooted in innovation, responsibility, and change, and champion a standard that looks beyond a single season to designs that are made to be used, loved, and kept.
