Sometimes the best product ideas are born out of necessity and a gap in the market. This is the story of Basil Bangs, the iconic Australian beach umbrella and outdoor homewares brand. Krista Huebner, along side husband and industrial designer Mike Durante, have created a range of outdoor products that reflect every Aussie, no matter what style you choose. From their colourful collaborations with designers and artists to developing a range of outdoor pieces that suit every occasion, Basil Bangs is celebrating 10 years in the industry and continues to grow from strength to strength. It all starts with a day at the beach, and that philosophy carries through the brand to this day. Find out what’s next for this powerhouse duo and the story behind their amazing collaboration with Australian art royalty Ken Done. This is bound to get you into the holiday mood and ready for summer.For more info on Krista, and to see what's on her Christmas wishlist, check out the House of Style Journal at www.houseofstyle.net.au/journal/2019/episode11/basilbangsFollow us on Instagram at https://instagram.com/houseofstylepodcastFollow Krista on Instagram at https://instagram.com/basilbangs
