Designed in Melbourne - Brian Davis

Decor Corporation is an iconic Australian brand and it all started with one product the Habana beaker set. Today I interviewed Brian Davis who established Brian Davis Plastics which became the Decor Corporation in 1958. I first met Brian in 2009 while researching STILL09. Decor products have long been a focus of my research and collecting. Brian was recognised for his contibution to design in Australia with membership of the Design Institute of Australia Hall of Fame in 1996.


Design Institute of Australia Hall of Fame member Brian Davis pictured with his very first product the Habana beaker set and his most iconic the Decor BYO wine cooler.

  1. Hello. When clearing our my mother in law's house we found a set of four Brian Davis Decor tumblers with the theme of Australian colonial military uniforms. The tumblers are rather tall and are like the children's tumblers you've posted on the blog, with the images apparently a paper insert between the plastic layers. The tumblers are in pristine condition and have probably never been used. I've never seen anything like them. I could send you photos if you like?
