LILY our online magazine loves to feature classic style so we were excited to receive an invitation to Coco Republic's concept store launch party for Timothy Oulton. Priscilla Green, LILY's Editor attended and snapped away to give you a sneak peek at their range. Watch out for LILY's future issue's where we will be featuring some of Timothy Oulton and Coco Republics stunning range.
The Timothy Oulton furniture business is a family owned company based in the UK, and is renowned globally for it’s distinctly British design aesthetic. With origins in antique trading, the contemporary Timothy Oulton collection references authentic design and draws on traditional hand-crafted manufacturing techniques to create pieces that are unique in both their construction and design.
Many of the pieces within the Timothy Oulton range are constructed using high-grade raw, natural and reclaimed materials sourced from around the globe.
Coco Republic celebrated the launch of Australia’s first Timothy Oulton store, located at 488 Church Street in Richmond, Melbourne on Wednesday evening, 17th July 2013.

In keeping with the British heritage of the iconic furniture and homewares brand, the 250 architects, interior designers and Melbourne VIPs were treated to a sophisticated English Gentlemen’s Club themed cocktail evening, complete with on-duty Queens Guards at the entrance and roaming British bulldog puppies.
Guest were treated to two Timothy Oulton inspired Glenmorangie Scotch Whiskey cocktails, specifically designed to celebrate the store opening, Veuve Clicquot champagne, Santa Vittoria waters and a contemporary English menu of canapés. Up-and-coming musician Pluto Jones entertained on the grand piano, with a selection of Brit-rock favourites. Three red, white and blue union jack mini cars made for an impressive on-street presence, thanks to Mini Garage Kings Way.
The new concept store is the first stand-alone Timothy Oulton store in the country and houses an extensive collection from the Timothy Oulton range, including signature furniture, homewares, art and lighting.
The store launches off the back of the brand’s overwhelming success in Australia, since its official debut last November at the Coco Republic Design Centre, in Alexandria Sydney. The Melbourne stand-alone store opening marks a significant step for the Timothy Oulton brand in Australia and Coco Republic.
