Serving architecture, design, development and construction clientele, as well as consumers, the Sydney flagship has been designed to house the entire spectrum of Abey’s brands. From the everyday essentials through to premium products, Abey’s portfolio includes globally renowned luxury bathroom brand, Gessi; German sink specialists, Schock; Italian bespoke tapware brand, Armando Vicario; and Abey’s own Gareth Ashton kitchen and bathroom range.
The showroom design was conceived and designed by Place Studio in collaboration with The Interior Standard, sleek and modern in style, featuring an airy double-height space that welcomes in natural light. Product and brand zones are defined by a sophisticated approach to materiality and detailing.
