GC ICONS

Born and bred on the Gold Coast, artist Trent Paul Firmin draws deep inspiration from the region’s vibrant history and his upbringing in the local sign industry, where his father owned and operated sign businesses. 

Iconic coastal imagery—most notably, the Pink Poodle Motel sign and painting by local artist, Lisa Hu—has really influenced Trent’s distinct aesthetic for this range.

This latest collection re-imagines the poodle motif in bold Fluro pink and clear acrylic, forming a playful, yet, refined range of earrings and keychains. 

Trent also introduces a series of upcycled, one-of-a-kind necklaces, each echoing the spirit of the Gold Coast from the 1960s through to today, in his #tpf Signature Range.

Handcrafted in his Robina studio, every piece reflects the unmistakable “glitz & kitsch” of coastal life—nostalgic, vibrant, and uniquely Gold Coast.
