Tree Interpretations by Dion Horstmans
Wallporn is a tightly edited collection of decorative elements conceived by Megan Morton for Space Furniture. In a personal quest to present a range of unique (vs “stocking filler”) festive objects, Morton worked with four established Australian designers to produce a set of strikingly original designs. Tree Interpretations by Dion Horstmans – a sculptor known for his penchant for crisp geometry – are mantelpiece-perfect sculptural trees fashioned from metal. They’re also an affordable introduction to Horstman’s work, which typically attract significant price tags.
Forward/Slash by L&G Studio
Ladies & Gentlemen Studio is a Seattle based design studio founded by Dylan Davis & Jean Lee. Their latest product, Forward/Slash’s is a sun dial-inspired desk lamp, reduced to three basic geometries – a base, fulcrum and light source. Once illuminated, the purpose of the object is revealed. When off, the lamp’s shape casts shadows that change throughout the day. Forward/Slash is made from an aluminium lamp enclosure containing an LED light strip. A textured glass pane diffuses the light source with solid white oak cap details. This enclosure is supported at an optimal angle by a Carrara marble base and a copper fulcrum.

Daniel + Emma Pick n Mix table and bench for Made by Tait
The Pick ‘N’ Mix table and bench employs the use of simple forms to create a sophisticated yet playful aesthetic. Just like a traditional pick n mix lolly bag, different components including triangles, blocks, cylinders and parallelograms, can be selected to devise a custom end result. The table top is fabricated from polished cement and the base from powdercoated steel.
“We look to create the unexpected from simple objects using simple forms, drawing influence and insight from the diverse culture that Australia presents us with. In the case of Pick n Mix, just like the mixed lolly counter of old, we invite the user to interact with the furniture and make it their own, as different components can be selected to devise custom looks.” – Daniel + Emma for Tait.
