Today on the podcast I speak to the wonderful Bec Snelling – the creative force behind Snelling, a multidisciplinary studio specialising in lighting, furniture, and objects. Originally established in 2007 as a collaboration between Bec and her father Douglas, a series of unpredictable and challenging events – which included personal transformation, artistic rejuvenation, retirement, and a factory fire led to the rebirth of the acclaimed design studio from Douglas and Bec to Snelling.

Shaped by Bec’s formal training as a fine artist and her years of experience as a designer, Snelling remains a furniture and design studio dedicated to delivering powerful products, blending traditional engineering elements with experimental aspirations. And at its core, the values of Douglas and Bec remain at the heart of Snelling: beautiful craftsmanship, collaboration, and authenticity. 

We recorded this episode a couple of months ago and following our chat Snelling Studio won two Editor's Choice Awards at the Design Show Australia - winning both the Accessories/Object/Art and Lighting categories. Snelling Studio have been invited to show at the Melbourne Design Fair in May 2023 - an incredible achievement which confirms the strength of the studio's new direction and creative approach.

Bec has an epic story to tell, and I took so much joy from our conversation. I know you will enjoy my chat with Bec as much as I did.
