Greg Natale

Natale was born and raised in Sydney, Australia,^[2] to Italian immigrants who arrived in Australia in the 1950s.^[3] Natale took a three-year course in interior design at the Enmore Design Centre at TAFE NSW – Sydney Institute, studied visual arts at Sydney College of the Arts, and architecture at the University of Technology, Sydney.^[4][5]

From 1996 to 2001, Natale worked for three different architectural design firms: Garth Barnett Designers, HBO+EMTB, and SJB.^[6] In 2001, he launched Greg Natale Design.^[7] This was around the end of the minimalism movement,^[7][8] and Natale chose to pursue a more luxurious look than had previously been in style.^[5] His first major project was the 2002 design of the Gonano Apartment, with a decorative, repeat pattern coordinated on walls, blinds, bed linens and art.^[3]

Natale's first book, The Tailored Interior, was published by Hardie Grant in November 2014, with photography by Anson Smart and a foreword by Jonathan Adler.^[6][9] The book offers insights and lessons on interior design, including Natale's philosophies and approach to paint colour, type of paints, patterns, proportion, cohesion and layering,^[5][7][10] showcasing 18 spaces Natale has created.^[9] Architectural Digest named the book as part of its 21 Best Books by Designers and Architects of 2015.^{[citation needed]}

In September 2018, Natale's second book, The Patterned Interior, was published by Rizzoli New York.
