William Dangar
William Dangar is one of Australia’s pre-eminent landscape designers and is the founder and design director of landscape architecture and design practice Dangar Barin Smith. The practice is renowned for delivering a refined design aesthetic, using a highly creative approach combined with clear communication. Over the past three decades Dangar has collaborated with many of Australia’s leading architectural and interior design firms to deliver an enviable portfolio of work. The retail brand Robert Plumb store was conceived in the mid 2000’s when Dangar was the contributing garden design editor for Belle Magazine: seeing a gap in the market for letterboxes he started his own range. The name Robert Plumb is derived from the building instrument called the plumb bob which is used to create a vertical reference line. The brand has grown exponentially and now includes locally designed and made furniture ranges, ceramic planters and outdoor accessories while exclusively importing high-end brands that align with Robert Plumb’s aesthetic and robust performance standards.
