Twenty Years: The Making of a Symbol
A tactile satellite exhibition for Melbourne Design Week 2026.
May 14—24th CY Space
Collingwood Yards
Marking twenty years of designing shapes and forms, this May we present a limited collection of designs grounded in materiality, exploring the concept of 'The Making of a Symbol.'
Objects are woven into tradition through the accumulation of human interaction—the stories that accrete around them, the sensorial memories they hold as they pass from one person to another.
Wool, resin, steel.
Each material an exploration of enduring meaning.
Origin
Form Follows Colour — We began with resin in 2005. Twenty years on, we return to the material that moves like no other — and this time, colour leads the way.
New Collection — Origin is here. A year in the making, cast by hand in strictly limited editions of 40–50 pieces, zero waste and fair trade made. Platters, bowls, cake stands, vessels, soap dishes and our beloved servers — each one uniquely marbled, no two ever alike.
Deep red-earth Ochre. Meadow-fresh Moss. Warm Latte. Rich Umber. Grounded Earth. Soft Sage.
Resin is fluid, luminous and alive. It captures colour in a way no other material can. Every piece is its own.
Form follows colour. Always.
