Finished yesterday and now sitting on my coffee table - 7:30am light doing all the work. Made with faceted amber glass, geometric gold connectors and a marble base. Each element sourced separately, now working together.
The morning sun changes the whole feel of the piece depending on the hour.
Yes, more emu eggs 😉

Getting into the Christmas mood with these table settings, each created from recycled materials and ready for the festive season.
Christmas lunch with friends and family deserves a table that feels special, and sustainable.

This arrangement was created from an old Christmas tree and a resurfaced pot. Not new. Reimagined.

Picture a series of these lining your home’s entrance. Welcoming. Elegant. Meaningful. And yes made from old pots and Christmas trees.

No need for new every year. Consciously sourced. Completely reimagined. One-of-a-kind statements that last beyond one season.

This is Christmas through a different lens—one that challenges throwaway culture while creating beautiful spaces.

RENU Collective—conscious design for homes that matter.

Australia already has enough Christmas decorations. They’re sitting in charity shops, storage boxes, and headed for landfill. Ready to be reinvented and reimagined.

Rather than buying masses of the new shinny and glitter every year, invest in pieces that matter and last.

Every element in your home will tell a story. Consciously sourced materials, reimagined using circular economy principles, creating meaningful designs that won’t be discarded next January.

This is what we believe: environmental responsibility and commercial success work together beautifully.

As we head into 2026, think amount what you can RENU - its not just about Christmas decs...

Nature belongs in every room—including where you entertain.

This piece brings the outside in. Natural bark, preserved and paired with a completely refurbished frame. One-of-a-kind texture that adds warmth and character to entertainment spaces.

Biophilic design creates environments where people want to gather. Where conversations flow and spaces feel grounded.

Consciously sourced materials. Reimagined frames. Authentic statements that last.
Perfect for entertainment areas, dining rooms, or any space ready for something meaningful.
DM if you’re interested.

RENU Collective—challenging throwaway culture, one piece at a time.

Christmas décor that tells a story beyond “bought at the shops”

This centrepiece started with some bark and pinecones - the home owner wanted Christmas styling that felt authentic, unique and not flown in from a factory. Then we added circular economy principles.

RENU installations available for properties, corporate spaces, and conscious homes.

This year, we’re thanking our partners with something different.

Unique table centrepieces, each sourced and reimagined through RENU Collective, D+M’s strategic extension challenging throwaway culture through conscious design.

Consciously sourced materials, reimagined using circular economy principles, creating meaningful pieces for homes and offices across Sydney. This is what we believe in at D+M: environmental responsibility and commercial success work together beautifully.

As we head into 2026, we’re bringing this thinking to property design and space activation. Conscious placemaking that creates competitive advantage.

Thank you for trusting us with your projects this year.

The D+M team.
