Artist Niah McLeod has partnered with Australian furniture brand Koala for a limited edition luxury homeware collection.
The Monero, Wandandian and Yuin artist was commissioned by Koala to create six original art canvases. Three of which were replicated to print and handcrafted in Indian on sustainably-sourced, luxury materials.
The finished range includes cushions, throws, rugs and bed linen inspired by McLeod's stories.
McLeod said after working on it for two years, the collection is a chance for others to carry part of this storytelling with them.
"It's been an incredible experience working with Koala on this collaboration," she said.
"My work allows me to tell some of the world's oldest stories, and my belonging to them, and it's been amazing to see these works transformed into the home in bold and stunning new ways.
"My hope is that those who own a piece of this collection are inspired to engage with the stories I've helped weave, the special beauty of the Bana, Gugaa, which means rain on Stringybark is a special tree for me or the importance of Gupu (water) dreaming."
Profits from the range will go entirely to supporting ID. Know Yourself, an Aboriginal-led charity supporting children living in the out-of-homecare system.
