From Boutique to a Bold Vision
At the heart of VANTA is a dedication to crafting distinctive homewares, primarily from high-end black steel. This modern material creates a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that interacts beautifully with natural light. Collaborating with local artists, VANTA also incorporates natural materials such as stone and timber, forging a harmonious blend between industrial strength and organic beauty.
These collaborations not only expand VANTA’s artistic range but also support Melbourne's vibrant creative community. Each piece, whether a grand installation or an intricate art object, is designed with meticulous care and crafted by independent creators with exceptional skill.

The Essence of VANTA: Black, Bold, Timeless
​
Inspired by Vantablack—the blackest black ever created, absorbing nearly all light—VANTA embodies depth, mystery, and elegance. For Brea, black is more than a color; it’s an identity and a philosophy. The sharp lines of her tattoo art now find expression in her steel creations, resulting in pieces that are both functional and visually striking.
Brea’s goal is to merge the boldness of her tattoo background with the refined sophistication of modern home design. VANTA represents years of honing her craft, translating the intricacy of ink into the permanence of metal.
​
A Commitment to Craftsmanship and Community
​
Each VANTA creation is more than a product; it’s a work of art crafted with passion, precision, and heart. When you bring a VANTA piece into your home, you’re supporting an independent artist and receiving a piece imbued with creativity and craftsmanship, destined to become a cherished part of your space.

House of Vanta | Skin to Steel: Past, Present, and Future
​
As VANTA evolves, so does Brea’s vision. The forthcoming House of Vanta | Skin to Steel book celebrates her creative journey—a collector’s edition that showcases her process from concept to completion. It also looks ahead to the future, with Vanta Studios leading the way.
​
Vanta Studios is the next chapter in Brea’s artistic evolution—a hub for innovation, larger-scale installations, and new methods of merging art with everyday life. The studio will foster creativity, serving as a space for artists to create, retail, exhibit, and collaborate.
It will not only produce cutting-edge designs but also build a thriving creative community, reinforcing VANTA’s position as a leader in high-end, contemporary homeware.
