Designed as a special commission, Bonsai, is a sculptural shelving centrepiece with a multi-tiered structure. Seamlessly rising from the ground, each ebb and flow is counterbalanced from a central vertebra.
Bonsai’s patination gives the contemporary form an enriched sculptural quality, which is designed to celebrate life’s most notable objects and collectables.
Working from the prize cut of the archetypal stone pillar, Brodie Neill applies two gentle reliefs, revealing the form’s function whilst leaving the entire chair in a counterbalanced posture. Cut from the hills of Hotavlje in northern Slovenia is a unique marble of soft grey infused with pale white veins, the calcification of deepsea coral and crustaceans formed 6 Million years ago.
Designed to celebrate nature’s perfection of ratio and proportion. Origin is an organic sculpture set on an architectural glass element, making a coffee
table that transforms the prosaic into the poetic. Reclaimed African hardwoods are transformed into three-dimensional parquetry. The contrast of solid mass a-top clear glass gives the appearance of lightness.

An elliptical centrepiece table made of over three kilometres of veneer off-cuts. ReCoil uses six species of treasured Tasmanian tree, reclaimed from Lake Pieman in the West Coast of Tasmania, as Hydrowood timber.
The sequence of the woods is randomised by an algorithm, to mesmerising effect.

Spanning 2.2 meters and consisting of 422 dowels interlaced with sequential coordinates, Latitude elevates salvaged wood to new heights whilst bridging the material properties of old and new. Commissioned by design research gallery Matter of Stuff to re-imagine the past into the present, Latitude recycles multiple linear elements into a single organic entity.

With a long, undulating three-way symmetry the organic Wishbone bench seat creates sculpturally striking forms, either as one or as multiples a cluster installation.

The result of exploring an endless line in 3D space, E-Turn embodies a continuous morphing ribbon that twists and turns from seat to structure before overlapping and returning again in the configuration of a seat. E-Turn, referring to eternity, dramatically transcends width and dimension as it wraps into its Moebius-like form.

Drop In The Ocean is a multi-media installation which was first shown in The Atrium of the iconic Foster + Partners designed ME London hotel as part of the London Design Festival 2017. The installation merges design, architecture and video mapping technology to confront the problem of ocean plastic waste. The power of a single drop of water is united with the expansive height of the building in a visually melodic display of projection and sound.
The Focus collection combines carved blackened oak with the organic richness of dark Welsh slate. The low-level circular coffee table features an aperture in the centre as a two-tier focal point while the deep grey slate acts as a window to frame the solid oak below. A side table with a slate top and an ebonised oak cross-joint base completes the collection.

A reiteration of the original solid-surfaced Reverb Chair, this is an ethereal chair that plays with the relationship between volumetric presence and structural lightness. The design is based on the form of a geometric vortex, a system made with steel rods that repeat to form a rhomboidal grid with openings of different sizes.

Set to be an iconic gateway to Tasmania’s Capital city, the Portal will be a beacon, a landmark, a meeting point, a place for rest and relaxation, arrival and departure. The 8.5m tall sculpture depicts a falling droplet frozen in time as it touches the ground, flattening slightly to provide seating.

Jet is an energetic adaptation of a side desk. The smooth graphite form swoops around to form the flat surface, from the front legs before converging to become the single back support. A cluster of black Swarovski Crystals lines the inside of the legs to evoke the feeling of a precious jewel-like interior.
