Dare Jennings is a true Renaissance Man. The artist, surf icon and bespoke motorcyle enthusiast who co-founded and later on-sold
Mambo, reinvented himself as an entrepreneur after starting
Deus ex Machina in his Fifties. Deus combines Dare’s experience in art- and design-driven streetwear and surf gear, and his love of custom bikes into one profitable package.

The creative centre for the organisation is called the
House of Simple Pleasures, a renovated factory space in Sydney suburb Camperdown where the showroom, workshop and design studio are housed. The Deus team grabbed a
Sony NEX 5-R camera to take us on a visual tour of the space…
