Christmas has always been about more than just a day on the calendar. It’s about the rituals that bring us together and the beauty we create along the way. At Bonnie and Neil, we see this season as a chance to celebrate vibrancy, joy, and togetherness, from the way you decorate your home to the way you gather at the table.
Bonnie and Neil is an Australian lifestyle brand that brings colour and joy into the home by creating artful objects.
Founded by Bonnie Ashley and Neil Downie in 2010, the pair combined their expertise in textile design, floristry and furniture making to launch their first collection. From small beginnings as a two-person team working out of a tiny studio in Brunswick, the business quickly evolved to include a close-knit team and a move to an expansive studio where the opportunity to play, experiment and innovate was infinite.
Bonnie and Neil make artful objects for every room. Each piece features vibrant prints of Bonnie’s original hand painted artworks, where gestural brush strokes, colour and pattern harmoniously come together. A Bonnie and Neil piece works hard to be more than the sum of itself and adds personality, creativity and inspiration to the home. From quiet moments of ponder on the couch to lively celebrations at the dinner table, Bonnie and Neil designs add beauty to any occasion.
Proudly Australian designed, the brand has received recognition for its unique offering and unwavering commitment to high quality manufacturing, leading to collaborations with Anthropologie, Qantas, T2 and more. More than a decade on, Bonnie and Neil continues to move forward with the same rigour and enthusiasm as the beginning, knowing the pursuit of good design is full of surprise, wonder and beauty, and maybe even the prime spot on your couch.
