LOUISE OLSEN on DINOSAUR DESIGNS
"When we started working with resin in the 1980s, there was really no one else working with it in the way we wanted to. We had to invent our own manufacturing techniques because resin really does have a mind of its own. It’s very painterly."
Our Sydney studio is the place where our resin pieces are made by hand to processes and secret recipes developed over decades by our Creative Directors and Co-Founders Louise Olsen and Stephen Ormandy, as they created our distinct visual language, piece by piece.
RESPONSIBILITY
Dinosaur Designs takes responsibility for our environmental footprint and supports environmentally sustainable initiatives. With this in mind, each piece is designed to be timeless, cherished and to last a lifetime.
