Nicholas Mesiano from Nicholas & Alistair

This week our Guest is Nicholas Mesiano from Nicholas &
Alistair


Nicholas & Alistair is a stunning gallery in Abbottsford
retailing original 20th-century decorative objects and applied
arts, specializing in the rarer examples of European design. Ok,
when I say stunning, I mean their showroom is STUNNING! If you
have a chance, do yourself a favour and visit 387 Johnston
Street, honestly just go now! Nicholas and Alister must have one
of the most impressive collections, it is just one iconic 20th
Century Designer after another!


I thoroughly enjoyed recording this episode, Nicholas' story is
truly fascinating! After years working in advertising, Nicholas
resigned without a plan and began selling his own furniture to
pay his bills! Once he sold most of his belongings he began
buying and selling at markets, 25 years later he and his partner
Alistair are at the pinnacle of Melbourne's 20th Century Design
scene, with one of the most jaw-dropping collections in town.


I hope you enjoy this interesting and wide-ranging conversation
with all round great guy, and one of Melbourne's Premier 20th
Century Design Dealers, Nicholas Mesiano.
