Jason Mowen Interior designer Mowen took on the sizeable task of casting an eye over 50 years of iconic designs and choosing the best of the best for ‘50 Things That Rocked Our World 1967–2017’ (page 103) — a process he thoroughly enjoyed. “I particularly liked the flflexibility and spontaneity of compiling such a list,” enthuses the Sydneysider. “I’m quite nostalgic so it’s a great pleasure to explore creativity of the past 50 years and select a variety of things from architecture to furniture to fashion and fififilm, even aviation.” Mowen is currently completing interior projects in Sydney and Melbourne, and cites his main creative inspirations as “history, art and interesting people”.
