MEDIA RELEASE 15th January 2004
UNIQUE DESIGN FEATURING
AUSTRALIA, INCLUDING TASMANIA, ON SHOW IN LONDON Peter Brohier, a Melbourne
lawyer, said today:
The set will be part of the Conran
Foundation Collection which will be showing for about thee months,
commencing on the 15th January 2004. The Collection features
designs “conceived with ingenuity” from across the world.
The design features a fitted T
shirt covered with a detailed map of Australia from front to back with a
matching map of Tasmania on the front of the G string or thong. The map was drawn principally
by hand by the designer’s father, Edgar Brohier, using little more
than a pen, ink and a ruler. Edgar Brohier died just after completing
the map in 1966. The map was updated by other means in 1996 by AUSLIG,
Australia’s survey and mapping agency.” Peter Brohier, the designer,
is a Melbourne lawyer and the man behind the Australian Government’s
multi millions of dollars of on-going support for Bass Strait sea
travel. A vastly improved ferry access for people and vehicles between
Mainland Australia and Tasmania has resulted, described as “changing
Tasmania forever”. The T and G set, and other
unique map related products, can be purchased through www.maptag.com.au.
The set is priced at A$50. Separately, the thong A$15 and A$35 for the T
shirt.” See also:
