Drew this as I was thinking about what apple trees are doing when itâs dark.â¨I posted this to my story yesterday and I got some really nice responses (đĽ˛) so I thought Iâd post as well.
Sometimes itâs nice to make a thing. I made a new IG page to share things I make if youâre into that kind of thing over at âĄď¸ @andyandywebb
Formant Lamp, Prototype (2025)
English Elm, Birch Ply
Both a functional source of light and a sculptural piece, the lamp takes cues from the structure of acoustic enclosures exploring how light, like sound, resonates within a space, shaping and influencing its environment.
Build with assistance (all the hardest parts) from the talented @ka_rastudio
Exhibited as a part of â100 Lightsâ by Friends and Associates (Melbourne Design Week, 2025)
Exhibition cards for @ceresfairwood âs âOrigin to Objectâ, a part of Melbourne Design Week 2023. With inspiration drawn from historical botanical documentation, these cards told the story of each species of timber used in the exhibition â highlighting the timbers unique origins from grower to miller and finally the maker.

Exhibition booklet for @ka_rastudio Kindred Forms exhibition late last year. An incredible range of side tables influenced by iconic mechanical companions from science fiction history.

Our contribution to Origin to Object presented by @ceresfairwood and @ngvmelbourne â introducing the âMedleyâ series. A collaboration between us, Katrina Ramm of Ka Ra Studio (@ka_rastudio ) and Andy Webb (@_andywebb ).
The series, alongside 10 other incredible works are on display within Origin to Object at Abbotsford Convent (Industrial School) for Melbourne Design Week 2023 showing until this Sunday (28th May).
The pieces, a free-standing lamp and two side tables were created using a selection of contrasting timber species provided by CERES Fair Wood â all sustainably sourced from a range of incredible agroforesters, small-scale farm foresters and urban salvagers. Three native Australian timber species were selected for the project to showcase and highlight the breadth and tonal variety in native Australian timbers â the exact origin of which have been document above (swipe across).
The form of the series, which although is more complex internally to allow for minimal material wastage, utilises a more playful and naive approach with its simple stacked construction externally. This allows for the piece to appear more exaggerated in scale while still remaining quite low in weight and small in footprint.
In their final form the pieces arrive back full circle, evoking the natural gradient seen across the stacked racks of timber boards in the Fair Wood HQ.
Thank you to Kate and everybody at CERES Fair Wood for having us involved in the exhibition â an incredible bunch of people that have done such an amazing job with not only this exhibition, but with everything they do to hero these amazing materials.
