Definitely not alone.

For the past few years, this has been our weekly ritual.

Reading. Questioning. Debating. Rewriting. Making every story just a little bit better.

A huge thank you to Mischa and Candice for being such an important part of the journey.

Looking back, it’s amazing to realise these conversations have helped shape nine feature films.

This week, one of them officially enters pre-production.

Here’s to the next chapter. 🎬

Our 30-day challenge starts on 1st of January 2026, hope you can join me.

The challenge has been created to meet you wherever you are at, with a wide variety of yoga practices including dynamic vinyasa and hatha, as well as more therapeutic somatic, yin and breath work sessions. My hope is that this 30-day challenge can support you to:

🔶 Develop a daily home practice
🔶 An opportunity to deepen into your own heartfelt intention and connection to what is important
🔶 Take a deeper dive into the tools of yoga & mindfulness as strategies that can support you to connect & listen to the wisdom of your embodied experience, awaken, let go & allow the light within you to shine bright

If you would like to receive daily emails, please sign up to my Substack - link in bio 📝

The 30-day challenge is completely free on YouTube until 31st January, after which will only be available on Yoginimelbourne’s membership platfrom ‘ahimsa’ (link in bio). Current ahimsa members will have early access to the daily practices 💕.

🔶 Develop a daily home practice
🔶 An opportunity to deepen into your own heartfelt intention and connection to what is important

PILLAR - Sculptural poise and architectural form define the PILLAR collection. Each piece – table, mirror or light – is a study in vertical layering, evoking structural integrity and timeless resonance. Handcrafted materials pair wood with glass or reflective surfaces, achieving a harmonious balance of texture and form, both visually compelling and functionally refined.

PILLAR Tables are now available in facet-accentuating Birch Ply or a Satin Matt White finish.

DM or enquire via deannorton.com.au for custom finishes or special commissions for PILLAR.

Chameleon is a performative collection that responds to the viewer. With the slightest movement and a brush of light, our faceted Pillar Mirror comes alive with the shift and shimmer of colour in motion.

Chameleon shape-shifts its way into the Moodlum collection, too, with Mood Mirrors, Coffee and Side Tables finished in chromatic mirrored surfaces. Each table base and mirror frame is zinc-plated, paired with a mirrored surface that changes hue with every angle.

Please email studio@deannorton.com.au to place an order, or discuss your bespoke commission.

Containa - Edition 6 - Aqua

The latest edition in the Containa series unites vessel and form. An aqua-toned internal sculpture mirrors the glass exterior, blurring boundaries between container and contained.

Encased in frosted glass, the organic wood-turned form is stilled, protected, and suspended, part furniture, part sculpture, and part story.

First showcased at @alcova.milano during Miami Design Week.

Intricate layered details of the PILLAR Side table

From the new collection that thoughtfully merges sculptural elegance with architectural form. Pillar Side is a study in balance, where materiality and form achieve a quiet dialogue of texture and proportion.
