John Eussen has been working across several areas of the interiors and textiles industry for more than 20 years.
After graduating from Wollongong University in 1984, he practised teaching for two years before going on to complete a post-graduate in marketing and advertising. This led him into the fast-paced world of sales, where he quickly moved up the ranks of marketing and into general corporate management.
Fusing his experience with the arts and his long-time interest in textiles, John soon carved out a marketing niche in interiors, which saw him travel extensively through international textile manufacturing areas such as South Africa, the UK, Europe, America, and the Asia Pacific region, forging life-long business contacts and developing key trade networks, as well as implementing new lifestyle trends.
John’s extensive marketing work in interiors has seen him become one of the most experienced figureheads of the industry, holding high-profile positions at several large textile companies, including managing director of Fabric Library Australasia and Rowe Fabrics, as well as general manager at Charles Parsons Homewares.
Today, John is concentrating on forging long-term networking and marketing opportunities in the interiors industry, with a particular interest in sustainable lifestyle concepts. He currently represents a number of international textile manufacturers and interiors companies, many which use certified organic principles, biodegradable and green fibres, environmentally friendly products and sustainable production methods.
Published in high-profile publications such as The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and appearing on Sky News Australia’s Eco Report, John is considered an expert in the field of sustainable interiors. He has held advisory and consultancy roles at several global conferences and tradeshows, as well as being invited as a keynote speaker to address industry leaders throughout the world.
Currently represented by Claxton Speakers International, his areas of expertise include interior decor with a focus on sustainable living, work-life balance and key lifestyle trends. John has also been selected as an Ambassador for the Al Gore Climate Change program, whereby he is committed to presenting the effects of environmental change on the way we live to national audiences.
John’s extensive experience in textiles marketing, sales and business management, together with his passion for a sustainable future, makes him one of the most knowledgeable people in the Australian interiors industry to date.
