Lo & Co has gained recognition for its refined, sculptural designs. Can you walk us through the brand’s evolution and what has shaped its design philosophy over the years?
Arielle and Teegan: The brand was founded with a focus on crafting high-quality solid brass and marble hardware, emphasising luxurious finishes and timeless design. Over the years, we’ve embraced a more experimental approach to form, shape, and materials, continually pushing the boundaries with finishes and marble selections. Ultimately, we only release collections we’d want to use ourselves—making Lo & Co a natural evolution of our personal style.
What was the driving force behind the partnership between Lo & Co and Claire Delmar for the Line Series? How did the collaboration unfold from the initial idea to the final designs?
Arielle and Teegan: Claire is someone we have admired for many years. She has one of the best eyes in the industry, so when discussions of who to collaborate with started, Claire was on the top of both our lists. From there we reached out to Claire to start the collaboration, and later had the opportunity to work with her styling our Sydney showroom.
Claire had a clear vision of what she was trying to achieve with this collection, and together with our experience with the production and functionality of the product we were able to refine the collection to what it is today.
In your view, how does the Line Series represent the future of hardware design, and what do you hope it communicates to its audience about Lo & Co’s approach to craftsmanship and innovation?
Arielle and Teegan: Claire had a clear vision of incorporating angular lines and organic finishes—distinctive elements that set this collection apart in the market. This approach reflects the thoughtfulness behind each piece we create and our commitment to delivering superior finishes. By exploring simple yet innovative forms that challenge traditional hardware design, this collection highlights the exciting possibilities for the future of hardware, pushing boundaries and redefining expectations.

What evolving design movements in the architecture and design industry are influencing hardware design today, and how is Lo & Co responding to them?
Arielle and Teegan: We’re observing a shift toward rich colours and natural stone, along with a growing appreciation for organic metal finishes and the natural patina of metals. In response, Lo & Co is introducing marble hardware in deeper, more luxurious tones and brass finishes that embrace natural, organic aging.
