THE CUT PHOTOGRAPHY: ANSON SMART (BERT’S) DESIGN PROFILE Amanda Talbot The designer behind Studio Snoop is well known for her interior projects, but her dedication to environmental and social change may have even more of an impact Interior designer, editor, trend forecaster, entrepreneur – Amanda Talbot is a woman of many talents. With a successful career spanning decades and continents, Amanda has managed to juggle writing books with interior-design projects and launching her very own ethical retail platform, all with the goal of bringing the world hope through positive design thinking. “I’ve always been focused on the human spirit and the environment around me, rather than embracing trends,” says Amanda. “I want to create optimism, community and a sense of belonging with my work.” While Amanda’s design business, Studio Snoop, is the powerhouse behind some of Australia’s most beautiful hospitality venues, such as Little Felix, Miss Chow, The Paddington and Coogee Pavilion, her firm has recently shifted focus from residential and commercial spaces to local and global social buildings. “Each venue is so unique and has been so much fun to do, but there are global challenges that we, as designers, can play a big role in,” says Amanda. “With climate refugee displacement and housing affordability issues, our cities need to be designed to support communities, the share economy and the circular economy, to combat loneliness, support food and water supplies, and the future of education, work and wellbeing. We need to restore our planet, rather than consciously adding to a system our planet is unable to support. We, as a studio, are looking at ways to design for the future.” The desire to make a positive impact on the world led Amanda to create The Together Project, an online ethical retail marketplace where every purchase supports the United Nations’ WORDS LAURA BARRY
