The Harbour Design Philosophy: A Fusion of Mediterranean and Australian Roots

At the heart of every handcrafted Harbour piece lies a design philosophy shaped by both Mediterranean heritage and the Australian lifestyle. While Harbour’s origins proudly stem from the vision of Jim Condos, father of co-founders Nick and Harrison Condos, the brand’s design philosophy has evolved into something bigger. 

Inspired by Jim’s early influences — from the azure waters of Greece to the coastal charm of its whitewashed buildings — Harbour now weaves these timeless Mediterranean elements together with the modern, coastal elegance of Sydney. At Harbour, we craft timeless designs that blend simplicity, functionality and a human touch for elevated outdoor living. 

An Evolution of Design

Harbour’s aesthetic is deeply connected to the Australian way of life, reflecting a deep love for the outdoors and nature. Jim Condos’ original commitment to simplicity, functionality and durability continues to inspire the brand, but it’s Nick and Harrison who have carried this philosophy forward, evolving it for a global audience. The clean lines, form and function that were Jim’s hallmark are now reimagined in Harbour’s collections.  It’s all about blending old-world charm with a fresh, contemporary vision — and a deeply personal touch that’s felt in every detail.

"I prioritize simplicity, functionality, and maintaining a human touch in my designs," Jim shared — a sentiment that remains at the core of Harbour’s craftsmanship today.

A Lifestyle Brand at Heart

Harbour’s collections are infused with the essence of Sydney’s harborside living, a true reflection of what it means to be Australian. With a signature aesthetic that is light, fresh, coastal and luxe-inspired, each Harbour piece embodies a story of craftsmanship and family heritage. This fusion of Mediterranean elegance and Australian coastal ease is what sets Harbour apart, offering timeless luxury with an inviting, modern touch.

As Nick and Harrison continue to lead the brand, they stay true to Jim’s vision while expanding Harbour’s influence across the globe. With every collection, Harbour brings together the beauty of nature, the simplicity of design and the modern luxury that defines the Australian way of life — all with a dash of the Mediterranean spirit that inspired the brand.
