The Next Generation of Design: ADR 30UNDER30’s Dinners

April 21, 2026

At Krost, we believe the future of the Australian design landscape isn’t just about the spaces we build, but the people who imagine them. As a major sponsor of Australian Design Review’s 30UNDER30 program, we recently joined the Sydney and Melbourne cohorts for two intimate dinners that set the beginning of a long-term dialogue.

These evenings were more than just a formal introduction, they were a chance to witness the "next generation of design" breaking the ice and forming the connections that will shape our industry for decades to come.

Sydney: Art Deco Inspiration at Clocktower Bar

The Sydney contingent met at the Clocktower Bar within the iconic Shell House. Set against an art-deco-inspired interior, the evening hummed with the vibrancy of the city’s design community. Here, the finalists were joined by industry stalwarts, creating a bridge between established experience and new-era creativity.

Melbourne: A Warm Welcome at Cutler & Co.

In Melbourne, the cohort gathered within the private, heritage-inflected dining room of Cutler & Co.. The atmosphere was one of quiet sophistication, providing a focused backdrop that allowed the room to settle into meaningful conversation to break the ice before our upcoming creativity retreat in Bali. Witnessing such incredible passion and creativity in one room makes us even prouder to be a partner of a program that empowers the next generation of design talent to thrive and innovate.

Supporting the Next Generation

Our sponsorship for 30UNDER30 reflects Krost’s ongoing commitment to local talent and design excellence. We understand that the modern workplace is evolving, and it is these "creators and thinkers" who will design the adaptive environments of the future.

As we look toward the 2026 collection and beyond, we remain dedicated to providing the furniture solutions that support these emerging professionals in their journey to redefine the built world.

Design and Function Combine for Talent X’s New Office

April 20, 2022

Located in a heritage style building, Talent X’s new office space features a mix of original and contemporary style finishes creating the perfect juxtaposition of architecture and furniture. As a hybrid recruitment and consultancy agency with an aim to build overachieving teams, Talent X’s fit out has created an environment to foster success and support for their team and candidates.

Natural light floods the open plan office, highlighting the signature painted brick walls and furniture pieces throughout. Using a mixture of Polytec Notaio Walnut, Shannon Oak and Laminex Milano Walnut finishes throughout the office, combined with the green walls, a biophilic design that reminds us of the warmth of nature is created. The interior features floor to ceiling glass walls allowing each area to flow into each other without clear or defined limits, creating fluidity within the office.

As you enter the space, our Tex lounges provide soft seating for visitors, encouraging a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Our Lennox storage units in a dual tone finish are placed facing opposite directions to divide the areas in a purposeful yet stylish way.

Collaboration and teamwork is inspired through the multiple Flip tables that fill the open area. Offering complete mobility and functionality with their castors, our Flip tables allow the Talent X team to move and create their own work areas based on different needs and requirements. Our Keywork desk with a modesty panel is also featured in this space, allowing for more focused and task driven activities.

Talent X have used our Swish height adjustable desks to promote employee health and wellbeing and to suit the varied working styles. In the main office, our Swish spine has been used offering practical storage which hides the foot of the Spine desk for a seamless finish. Paired with our Miro and Space task chairs, each office has been set up to promote comfort and productivity.

Cohesive in theme, our Lennox units in matching finishes are featured through the entire office, from the open area to executive offices allowing ample storage. Minimalist in design with clean lines and matt black anodised handles, Lennox effortlessly integrates into all spaces within the Talent X office.

Finally, the boardroom features our Benchwork table in Shannon Oak and black powder coated steel frame, offering a practical solution for formal and team meetings.

Talent X’s new office space considers the different working environments for the modern employee. Various settings are provided that focus on connection, collaboration and comfort by the curation of furniture and finishes.
