Experience in fashion design, styling, marketing and as a publicist in Sydney and New York City, and studies/practical experience in sculpture, Manon was inspired to produce her first and now second range of illuminaries.

Manon Youdale was awarded in 2008 the most creative and well designed table by Nokia Australia after she was asked to host a table to launch the mobile phone Nokia 8800 Arte.

Manon designed for Nokia 8800 Arte a world of flat cardboard surfaces and everyday items that are purposefully diminished so as to juxtapose and be reminded of the natural beauty, precious minerals and refraction's of light that turn communication into engagement.
