"We had a lot of shoppers as well as architects and designers within our space here at Kingston enjoying how they interact with our displays in a very aspirational and lifestyle manner," Winnings group design manager Kate McGlone said. "And they started suggesting that this would be a useful way for the retail space to expand into other categories. That was the first sort of stepping plan for us to land in this spot.
" Winnings product expert Christian Bartasek ahead of the store's reopening. Picture by Keegan Carroll Winnings first opened its doors in Canberra in 2016, when it boasted being the largest appliance showroom in the Southern Hemisphere. While the brand's flagship Redfern store has overtaken the Kingston space in size, Ms McGlone said the large footprint made it possible to extend the offerings.
The store's brands include Sub Zero & Wolf, Gaggeanu, Amura, Case Furniture, CTO Lighting, Catalano, Claybrook, TechnoGym and Revel. Some of the selection of furniture at the new Winnings store.

"Beyond having world-leading brands with quality that's going to stand the test of time, it's all in one spot, which I think streamlines that journey." It's a big step forward for the Australian company, which previously only stocked household appliances for the kitchen and laundry. Winnings' new wellness display area.
Picture by Keegan Carroll When it comes to the wellbeing range - which includes the icebaths, saunas and tech-based gym equipment - it was a case of being inspired by the COVID lockdowns, a time when people's desire to include items such as these in their homes increased. "At the end of the day it is about connecting with a space," Ms McGlone said. "I think we all know you walk into a beautiful cafe or a lovely library or someone's home, and it's really the essence of how it feels that creates the memory.

"It's effectively carrying across that same design premise to these new categories.
