Surfaces are changing. Materiality. Design. Function. The built environment is evolving and so too are the materials that we use within them. The expectations we place on materials and performance has never been more of a concern for architecture and interior professionals. For even the most discerning, educated design professionals staying abreast of the continual changes that occur in the hard surface landscape can seem like an insurmountable task. We created Surface Australia to bridge the divide between suppliers, specifiers and end-users, exploring the newest technologies, most breathtaking designs and addressing the many common nuances and preconceptions inherent in the hard surface industry. Surface Australia is tailored to highly skilled design professionals, architects, homeowners, renovators and everyone in between. The teachings, projects and inspiring products featured within have been hand selected to offer valuable insights to help guide you on your next surface journey. Sharing the learnings of a business now over 135 years old, Surface Magazine is a collaborative effort driven by Earp Bros with focused input from all corners of the hard surface, architecture and interiors industries. Welcome to the first edition of Surface Australia. ~ Josh Earp - Earp Bros Marketing Manager & Editor
