Greg natale on design philosophies and inspirations at d d sydney 2013
Early life and education
Natale was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, to Italian immigrants who arrived in Australia in the 1950s. Natale took a three-year course in interior design at the Enmore Design Centre at TAFE NSW – Sydney Institute, studied visual arts at Sydney College of the Arts, and architecture at the University of Technology, Sydney.
Career
From 1996 to 2001, Natale worked for three different architectural design firms: Garth Barnett Designers, HBO+EMTB, and SJB. In 2001, he launched Greg Natale Design. This was around the end of the minimalism movement, and Natale chose to pursue a more luxurious look than had previously been in style. His first major project was the 2002 design of the Gonano Apartment, with a decorative, repeat pattern coordinated on walls, blinds, bed linens and art. Based in Sydney, the firm handles interior design in residential, retail and commercial spaces, and also does residential exterior design.
Natale's style is a mixture of opulence, vibrant colors, patterns and textures, with meticulously curated and balanced, layered spaces and modern touches. He has designed products including rug collections of commercial and domestic rugs and carpets for Designer Rugs, wallpaper collections for Porter's Paints, furniture collections for Stylecraft and Regency Distribution, and a range of tiles for Teranova Tiles.
Natale has twice been named the Belle / Coco Republic Interior Designer of the Year. In 2014, he was named the inaugural winner of the Editors' Medal at the Interior Design Excellence Awards. In 2015 he was named as one of ‘The World's Most Influential Designers’ by Architectural Digest Mexico and in 2016 at High Point Market in North Carolina was awarded ‘2016 Luxury International Designer of the Year’. In 2015 Harper’s Bazaar Interiors, Middle East feted Greg Natale as a ‘Design Visionary’. Greg has appeared as a guest judge on the reality television shows The Renovators and homeMADE.
Natale's first book, The Tailored Interior, was published by Hardie Grant in November 2014, with photography by Anson Smart and a foreword by Jonathan Adler. The book offers insights and lessons on interior design, including Natale's philosophies and approach to paint color, type of paints, patterns, proportion, cohesion and layering, showcasing 18 spaces Natale has created.
