Thank you for joining us at OPEN STUDIO during Melbourne Design Week 2026.
Over four days, we welcomed visitors into our Brunswick East production studio for the first public presentation within the space. It was a pleasure to share an insight into our process, materials, and approach to locally made lighting.
The exhibition introduced Solace Chain alongside a preview of a new linear pendant, recent works shown during Milan Design Week, and a selection of new material explorations and editions.
Thank you to everyone who visited the studio, engaged with the work, and celebrated the occasion with us.
We would also like to thank Melbourne Design Week and NGV for continuing to support and celebrate Australia’s design community through a diverse program of exhibitions, talks, installations, workshops, and events across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
