The debut exhibition of sculptures by furniture designer and maker Hugh McCarthy, SEQUENCE posits 11 columns comprising stacks of irregularly shaped units of oak.

Urania Collection by Hegi Design House

Waffle
Founded in 2017 by Canberra-based designers René Linssen and Elliot Bastianon, furniture studio Furnished Forever places great value on Australian manufacturing. For WAFFLE, the differences between hard and soft surfaces, with the geometric planes of Waffle’s upholstered grid, offer a satisfying squish of comfort. Effectively a grid within a grid, the repeated structural elements deliver a rectilinear sculptural form. Here, the straight smooth lines of timber are met with the softly curved profile.
