Designer of furniture, interiors and buildings, an artist and a collector, Chris Connell at home for our ‘SEE dedece’ series of photographic studies of creatives, emerging and established. Connell designed this sanctuary in the diverse and bustling St Kilda East and has filled it with a fascinating collection of eclectic and beautiful objects, artworks and furniture, both by his own hand and by others. His home is a small window into the inspiration and process of a designer who continues to be a major part of Victoria’s design community.
