The Design Files Daily

About

Thankyou for reading The Design Files! This is a daily design blog written by Melbourne set dresser / stylist Lucy Feagins.

The Design Files started up in early 2008 and has snowballed somewhat haphazardly into the site you see here today! It’s been a brilliant ride and has sent Lucy lots of new friends and incredible opportunities! (Thankyou!) The Design Files has been featured in publications including The Age, The Good Weekend, Urbis, Design Quarterly, Inside Out Magazine and Real Living Magazine.  In 2009 it was named by The Times (UK) as one of the world’s Top 50 design blogs.

These days Lucy contributes design news and feature stories to various Australian magazines, and writes a monthly design column for The Age Melbourne Magazine. Lucy continues to work as an interiors stylist for TV commercials, film and TV productions and editorial photo shoots.

The Design Files covers design in all its forms – from architecture and interiors to art, craft, graphic design and illustration. There’s a strong focus on Australian design… but a smattering of international design news too for good measure! Regular features on the site include Australian Homes every Wednesday, and Interviews with talented local creative people every Friday. And don’t forget to check out the guest blog too!
