Spence & Lyda - Making Local

“Furniture should never be seen as a fashion statement. Things have to have a story, resonate with you, and actually have meaning to you.”

“It’s just not sustainable for us to be importing everything we sell. So that’s why it’s important if we’re making here, to use our woods, and so we do… especially with so much talent here, so much great raw product, why wouldn’t we?”

— Fiona Lyda, Spence & Lyda

==========================

For Fiona Lyda, design has been in her blood for as long as she can remember. Having opened Spence & Lyda, Sydney’s renowned home interiors retail destination for the design-savvy, over 20 years ago, Lyda continues to be a pioneer in the retail and design space. With an emphasis on showcasing ‘products of unparalleled quality and distinction, visual form and functionality; pieces designed to stay in our lives for generations’ Lyda’s stamp in design is here to stay. Central to the Spence & Lyda philosophy is creating a sustainable design industry. According to Lyda, using Australian materials and supporting Australian designer-makers is key to this philosophy. In the midst of COVID-19, supporting Australian has never been more critical, for the sustainability of our economy as well as our planet. The Innate Collection epitomises what Australia needs right now, to support our own, and as usual, Lyda was ahead of the curve.
