blok at the met

In preparation for the world-exclusive exhibition ‘American Impressionism and Realism: A Landmark Exhibition from the Met’ (weblink), which opened at the end of May, Qld Art Gallery staff have been flat-out refurbishing gallery spaces and public use areas, including the iconic Watermall Café.

Blok has designed, manufactured and installed a 5.3m banquette, upholstered in Elmo soft leather to complement existing furnishings.

Many thanks to Carolyne Jackson, Michael O’Sullivan and the interiors team for the opportunity to work with you again. We hope the Met show is huge success for QAG, and the banquette gets lots of use now and in the future.

blok – the smart choice


In the past few months, Blok has been delighted to install a number of products at University of Qld and Griffith University.

Students and staff at UQ’s St Lucia campus are enjoying our mobis, bollos and lulus, while Griffith Uni’s Mt Gravatt and Qld Conservatorium of Music campuses are host to duo sofas, mimosa chairs and more lulu ottomans. In fact, Con students find the duo sofa so comfy it seems to be a favourite place for a nap between those Monday morning lectures… making it a bit difficult for Marni to take installation photos.

Thanks to Jan Achurch at Griffith, Elizabeth Reynolds and Kate McIlvride at UQ, Paul Jones at Design Nest and Cocoon for the orders, and we look forward to working with you again in the near future.

blok goes national!

Brisbane-based Blok Furniture is pleased to announce some positive changes to their
Australian distribution network.

Blok is no longer represented by agents in NSW, Victoria and Western Australia and all
national sales will be handled directly by their head office.

This will assist Blok in the management of their expanding product portfolio, and allow
national clients to enjoy the same custom design services and project specific solutions
offered to their loyal Queensland client base.
