Amid a defining era of growth at NEOZ, Tammy helped shape the brand’s creative direction — from co-developing the now-iconic Cooee collection with Peter Ellis to playing a part in the introduction of the groundbreaking V4.5 system. The Cooee lamps, simple yet unmistakably NEOZ, became a hallmark of that evolution. We spoke with Tammy about those formative years, the creation of the Cooee range, and what she has carried forward since.
For nearly a century, Bathers’ Pavilion has been a Sydney icon—where heritage meets coastal elegance. Earlier this year, the landmark played host to the acclaimed L’Enclume residency, illuminated by NEOZ lamps that shaped a dining experience worthy of its three Michelin stars. In conversation with General Manager Tom Sykes, we explore what makes Bathers’ so enduring—from its breathtaking views and refined cuisine to the carefully crafted atmosphere that makes every visit unforgettable.
The Big Group, one of Australia’s leading event companies, is renowned for transforming spaces with creativity and precision.

At the recent London Design Festival, Corner Light made its debut—not just as a reveal, but as a hands-on experience. Visitors could hold the cordless lamp, turn it over, and watch its candle-like glow transform the space.

The much-anticipated Corner Light cordless lamp was unveiled last week at the London Design Festival 2025, one of the world’s foremost celebrations of design and creativity.

Tucked away on Rue Vernet near the Champs-Élysées, Château des Fleurs blends Belle Époque romance with contemporary Parisian style. Revitalised by Quintana Partners, its 37 rooms feel like a private residence, with Murano chandeliers, velvet seating, and marble accents creating a warm neo-Art Nouveau atmosphere. At its heart, the NEOZ Victoria cordless lamp completes the ambience—its classic silhouette and soft glow moving seamlessly between lounge, bar, and dining spaces.
