01. B&B Italia Up 50
Designed in 1969 by Italian architect and designer Gaetano Pesce for B&B Italia, the Up 50 is shaped as a female figure bound to a ball-shaped ottoman, symbolising “the shackles that keep women subjugated.” For Fanning, “the story of its creation is powerful, and to sit in it is immersive — comfort levels at a maximum.”

07. Spiggy Quincalux Palma Door Handle
“It’s beautifully designed and manufactured in Belgium,” Fanning says of the Palma door handle from the Quincalux collection at Spiggy. Made in high-quality brass and nickel finishes, it forms part of a “full coordination suite” that includes cabinet and window handles as well as accessories.
08. Behruz Studio Rugs
For Mim Design, Melbourne-based Behruz Rugs is the studio’s preferred supplier, valued for their ability to source the world’s finest materials. “They always deliver on customisation and quality,” Fanning explains. “Their tradition of crafting man-made pieces that portray a moment in time is hard to go past.”

11. Wolf M Series
The Wolf M Series is an aspiration for Fanning, who says she’d “love to have one.” With touch controls and 13 cooking modes, “they take the guesswork out and deliver every time,” she notes. “We love crafting kitchens with meaning when using this product.”
12. Brodware Tapware Range
When it comes to tapware, Fanning keeps it simple: “Brodware,” she says. “They’re Australian-made and their quality is superb.” With finishes ranging from inFinium PVD to electroplate and powder coat, Brodware offers options to suit any interior.
