Steven Blaess
BLAESS lived a nomadic life for the first half of his childhood travelling with his family throughout South Australia. He experienced its magnificence and solitude and with this, developed an early inventiveness with objects available to him in order to occupy an inquisitive and growing mind.
The open uninterrupted space and simplicity within the bush and coastal landscapes around The Great Australian Bight, formed an unconscious awareness in BLAESS, that is now displayed in his purpose to create forms and environments which express simplified beauty and freedom within form.
BLAESS graduated with a Bachelor of Design in Human Environments from the University of South Australia in 1994. During his studies, he won a two year Design Scholarship for Excellence in Design and traveled to Hong Kong where he worked with an international architectural practice designing commercial offices interiors and furniture.
After graduating, BLAESS worked with some of Australia's leading architecture, interior and graphic design companies on high-end residential and billion dollar commercial projects.
