Grounds Collection

Designer: Roy Grounds

Bench Seat

Roy Grounds is celebrated for iconic Australian buildings like the Shine Dome, the National Gallery of Victoria, and the Victorian Arts Centre. This book, however, focuses on a different side of Grounds — the curious and experimental architect who tested ideas in everyday living as much as in grand architecture.

The grounds collection reimagines original designs from one of australia’s most influential architects.Crafted locally with natural materials, the collection embodies grounds’ timeless vision of clean, restrained living.

Developed in collaboration with Tony Lee, Victoria Grounds, and the K5 team, the Sir Roy Grounds Collection brings to life original designs created for the architect’s own residential projects of the 1930s–50s. Each piece reflects Grounds’ refined, minimalist aesthetic — a balance of functionality, restraint, and timeless form.

Crafted locally with natural materials, the first release includes a dining table, coffee table, side table, bench seat, and ottoman. Clean and honest in design, the collection continues Grounds’ vision of furniture that quietly enhances the spaces it inhabits.
