AT A GLANCE
Who: Sarah Kalidis, Studio Onethirty. What she does: Creates art and designs Australian-made textiles, furnishings and furniture. She is also a lover of all things botanical. Where: Carss Park, NSW. Why she does it: “Creating is my happy place – it’s what I love to do. I hope to inspire my daughter, Anthea, to follow her dreams and find what makes her happy.” Visit: studioonethirty.com>
In primary school, Sarah Kalidis was known as the ‘colour queen’. “No matter what the homework or assignment, I always found a way to add a little picture or colour to it before handing it in to the teacher,” says Sarah. Sitting in her stunning shopfront Studio Onethirty in Sydney’s south, surrounded by bold textiles, art and custom furniture, it’s a crown she still holds.
Sarah is what many would describe as multitalented. A few steps away from her colourful store is her studio, where she single-handedly creates and designs stand-out homewares – from cushions to paintings and coffee tables.
