One of the many enchanting words in the French language is "dérive," meaning "to drift" – a concept of embarking on a spontaneous journey, leaving behind the familiar to be moved by the spirit of new landscapes and architecture. This idea resonates deeply with Sibella, as travel is not just a passion but an essential wellspring of inspiration. Sydney-based interior stylist Sibella Court embodies this ethos, having carved a distinguished career by infusing her designs with the essence of her global adventures. Her portfolio, including celebrated venues like Mr. Wong, Palmer & Co, and El Loco, reflects over two decades of travel across South East Asia, India, Europe, the Middle East, the States, Central America, and Australia. With a camera always in hand, she captures the world around her to share through a variety of creative outlets. Such as editorial, film or interiors.

When asked about her most inspiring destination, Sibella often cites New York. She finds its energetic, driven atmosphere irresistible, where people constantly challenge themselves, creating experiences that reverberate globally. This vibrant city serves as a wellspring of creativity and innovation for her. Sibella's unique talent lies in translating the essence of her travels into tangible products. Her creative process involves meticulously documenting her journeys through diaries, notes, and photographs, which serve as a well of inspiration for her designs. Whether it's the smoky forests of Transylvania or the vibrant markets of India, she captures these experiences in her creations, infusing them with a sense of place and narrative. 

Her design philosophy, characterised by a "lo-fi" approach, values cleverness over extravagance. She believes in the transformative power of simple changes, often upcycling ordinary objects into something extraordinary. This ethos extends to her embrace of "slow style," where the origin and craftsmanship of products are valued, echoing the principles of the slow food movement. Sibella's interiors are not just spaces; they are stories that honour the past and respect the heritage of each building. With a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and a keen eye for detail, Sibella Court continues to inspire and innovate in the world of interior design, capturing the essence of her travels and translating them into captivating narratives that enchant and delight.
