Creative Duo: Sibella & Chris Court

Initially I thought this pair must be a couple, as I started to notice their names frequently appearing together... there does seem to be a common theme in the industry that great stylists and photographers tend to shack up together - making the ultimate power couple in the design world! But to my surprise I discovered, after a bit of googling/top investigative work, that it is in fact their genetic connection as brother and sister, which has united them.

Their work is visionary, conceptual and evocative, and I can't get enough. Here is a snapshot of some of my favourites posted on Chris Court's online portfolio.










In addition to being an internationally travelled stylist and interior designer, Sibella has opened up an enchanting shop in Paddington, Sydney, which she has carefully filled with curious objects, salvaged finds, home made trinkets and her own environmentally sensitive paint collection for Murobond. You can view the shop and Sibella's portfolio at The Society Inc. Her handiwork reminds me of the relaxed and almost haphazard styling of Anthropologie's installations... swoon...

I'm so inspired by this creative pair I've actually paused while writing this post to purchase their coffee table book Etcetera - awarded Best Designed Book and Best Designed General Illustrated Book at the APA Annual Design Awards 2010.


I hope you've enjoyed their work as much as me!
