Adele Bates. The Designer Behind The Detail

Adele Bates is the Director of her award-winning, multidisciplinary design studio based in Melbourne. Since founding the practice in 2012, she has established a reputation for a considered, holistic approach balancing aesthetic clarity with functional integrity. Adele is recognised for creating timeless, high quality interiors across residential and commercial sectors, defined by longevity, refined materiality and meticulously resolved detailing. Her work carries a quiet confidence, spaces that feel effortless yet are grounded in rigorous thinking and strong architectural sensibility. Each project reflects a deep understanding of context, proportion and human experience, resulting in environments that are both visually compelling and intuitively functional. The relationship between Adele Bates and Omvivo is built on years of collaboration and aligned design values. Together, the partnership has delivered refined bathroom solutions across numerous single and multi-residential projects throughout Australia. A defining milestone was the launch of the Lune Collection in 2020. Inspired by organic geometry and articulated through subtle shadowline detailing, Lune embodies Adele’s design language , sculptural yet restrained, expressive yet human in scale. The collection quickly became one of Omvivo’s most sought-after ranges, with its basins and bath now staples for designers seeking a balance between sculptural form and everyday function. Building on the success of Lune, Omvivo and Adele reunite for a new collection, advancing sculptural form, material precision and the future of contemporary bathroom design.
