Adelaide Bragg and Robyn Lea in Conversation

  • Talk
  • Events

Join acclaimed interior designer Adelaide Bragg and award-winning photographer, author and director Robyn Lea for an intimate afternoon celebrating City, Coast & Country: Australian Interiors by Adelaide Bragg. Together, they will discuss the inspirations and shared creative vision that shaped the book.

Drawing on Adelaide’s early life on her family’s sheep and cattle station in the Upper Hunter Valley, and her decades of design experience, City, Coast & Country reflects a style defined by warmth, authenticity and a deep connection to place. Through Robyn’s evocative photography and storytelling, the book captures the spirit of Australian homes that are as inviting as they are timeless.

This special afternoon offers an inspiring glimpse into the world of City, Coast & Country and the creative minds behind it. It invites guests to reflect on how a meaningful connection to the natural world can inspire and ground the spaces we call home.
