Opsis Designs Christmas Workshop

OPSIS DESIGNS. THE HOME OF GOODWILL

This season, Opsis Designs invites you into the world of Goodwill, the maison behind the world’s most coveted Christmas decorations. Found in Harrods and adorning only the most prestigious addresses — from The Ritz Paris and Hotel de Crillon to Cheval Blanc Courchevel and the Royal Mansour Marrakech — Goodwill defines festive artistry at the highest level.

This October, we offer our clients an experience unlike any other. From 8–15 October, we welcome Darren McKay — Goodwill’s in-house designer and the creative force behind the Heart by Goodwill collection — exclusively to our store.

Through a series of intimate workshops, Darren will share the savoir-faire of Christmas styling: the rhythm of ornament placement, the drape of ribbons, the art of garlands. A rare opportunity to learn directly from Goodwill’s own hand.

For those seeking the ultimate expression of luxury, Darren will also be available to design and install a select number of Goodwill Christmas trees directly within private homes in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs — a truly bespoke service.

With Opsis Designs, Goodwill’s artistry is no longer confined to Europe’s grandest hotels — it can be part of your home.
