Studio

Dentistry never looked so good.

Our studio is an ode to the city it calls home. Paying homage to the Gold Coast’s unique personality of relaxed beachside living, and an unapologetic love of all things beautiful, it embodies the modern GC persona of glamorous, but artisanal, innovation.

These elements have come together to create a space where sophisticated sensibility meets avant-garde creativity.

We've worked hard to elevate dentistry from a utilitarian undertaking to a cultural experience.

Get Comfortable

The waiting lounge has been curated with art and sounds to calm and inspire you. This is your space to sit back and relax, to dream and to wonder.

Make yourself at home and head on over to the bar for refreshments, before getting comfortable on the couches to enjoy the visuals and ambient sounds from Daniel Arsham’s first ever NFT, as it takes you through the seasons.

You can even catch up on a quick work email or two in the work space.

Our Art

Virgil was perhaps best known as a trailblazing fashion designer for his own brand, “Off-White”, and also as creative director of Louis Vuitton from 2018 to his sad passing in 2021. However, we revere him as a seminal figure responsible for a profound cultural shift in global fashion. He was the guy to take street fashion to high fashion; traditionally luxury fashion houses had set trends from the top-down, as if their take on fashion had some kind of divine ordinance. Streetwear, by contrast, is a subversive movement that has risen up from the people, culture, and emotion. To their credit, the big fashion houses have now well and truly embraced, and collaborated with, the movement. We have acquired a number of Off-White homeware and furniture pieces for the Studio, all in homage to one of our main inspirations. “Virgil was here”.

CJ is a mate from the Gold Coast, as well as an internationally-acclaimed artist/furniture designer. His work, ‘Objectified Memories’ was included in the inaugural HOTA Gallery exhibition on the Gold Coast. Mild-mannered CJ’s extreme act of subversion in taking a hammer to his immaculate chrome forms in this exhibition, is what instantly made him a hero in our eyes. Look out for his one-of-a-kind commissioned stool in our Waiting Lounge.

New York-based Arsham’s varied oeuvre of pieces means many things to many people. It’s clear that he has an affinity with architecture. He also explores the concept of time; his eroding sculptures seem to take us on a temporal journey to some liminal zone between the past, present, and future. Aesthetically, although there is a definite monochromatic, Greco-Roman, sculptural flavour that runs through his work, this is also softened by a delicate Japanese sensibility. Arsham’s works resonate with us because he elevates the seemingly mundane to something epic. The centrepiece of our Waiting Lounge is an audio-visual display of his very first NFT. It’s a digital depiction of a Roman bust from the Louvre, that erodes gradually every day for 12 months, before reforming. The vista is set in a serene Japanese garden, that changes with the seasons. Between this and the Happy Gas, we’re sure you will feel well-relaxed.

Cara is a contemporary ceramicist, who also holds a Masters in Psychology, and lives and works in the Northern Rivers of NSW. Her personal style emanates a calmness and peace that is reflective of her creative process. She uses natural materials and ancient firing techniques to create unique nuances on her pieces, which confers on these a deep, profound, authenticity (congruent to her own personality). She is a long-time client of Dr Rohan’s, and their shared hyper Type-A personality traits, together with their ostensibly antithetical love for artistic expression, are what led to their collaboration on the iconic 32 Swish Cups.

Thierry Guetta’s manic reverence for street artists in Banksy’s absorbing 2010 doco, ‘Exit Through the Gift Shop’, was slightly unnerving, but entertaining at the same time. Some believe he’s an elaborate prank conceived by Banksy, and others believe he’s just a charlatan who has desecrated the anarchic, anti-capitalist, purity of street art (including his cousin, Space Invader). We view Mr Brainwash’s success as an interesting indictment on Western consumption, and believe the derision he faces from his street art peers and snooty high art types are allotropic forms of the same thing: sour grapes. That said, it did feel slightly dirty paying an exorbitant amount of money to an artist who makes no pretence about his capitalist motivations. For what it’s worth, you’ll be able to see Mr Brainwash’s original signature and thumbprint on one of his iconic spray can pieces at the Studio.

Colville was established by Lucinda Chambers (former fashion director of British Vogue) and Molly Molloy (former design director at Marni). We really identify with their manifesto, to create pieces that “have individuality and longevity, that appeal to the eye, to the imagination, to the conscience and to the heart”. Further, their commitment to sustainability and women’s social projects also wins our support. You’ll be able to request Colville blankets in our Suites for your comfort.

Brooke is a friend and client of ours; she grew up in the same part of Sydney as Dr Rohan, and is now a reputed ceramicist based in the Northern Rivers, NSW. Her award-winning biomorphic sculpture is featured in the Studio.

Brian Donnelly was born in hard-nosed Jersey City, New Jersey. It’s just simply hilarious that when he moved to NYC in the 90s, he was a Disney animator by day and illegal graffiti artist by night. It’s things like his dystopian take on Mickey Mouse, and emphasis on characters with a shy or powerless pose, that meant we had to acquire some of his work. We think these works relate to our belief in accepting and celebrating the kaleidoscopic nature of human emotion. We have a special place in our heart for the hot pink ‘What Party’ Chum figure at the Studio.

Murakami’s innocent-looking flowers belie the force with which he has taken over the arts and fashion worlds. Originally invited by Marc Jacobs, he has collaborated with Louis Vuitton for 20 years, designed cover artwork for Kanye, directed a Billie Eilish music video and sold a single high art piece for more than $15 million USD. Murakami’s deliberate strategy to create work that appealed to the West, before bringing this new market back to help the Japanese creative scene, was something that made us think, ‘you gotta respect the hustle’. You’ll see his iconic Flower Plush cushion in the Waiting Lounge.
