Details of Dialogue chair in aluminium, chrome plated steel, waxed canvas. Showing in 100 CHAIRS by @friends.associates for Melbourne Design Week. 100 CHAIRS 14-24 May / 11-6pm daily South Magdalen Laundry, Abbotsford Convent A chair developed by @belwilliams.studio and @clairmar between LA, Adelaide and Melbourne. As strangers that became friends at MDW 2024, Dialogue chair is our first collaboration — exploring our creative alignment for the first time and a way to stay in touch when separated by hemispheres. Designed together over the past five months through an online exchange of sketches, mockups and annotations. Mechanically fixed, the chair can be disassembled, shipped and reassembled, allowing for ongoing change and iteration. #melbournedesignweek #NGV

The most special night celebrating the VL50 awards. Thank you @vogueliving for giving this metal-dust covered girl a night at the ball 🤍 Special thank you to @beccaratti and team for hosting a beautiful evening and for their support of Australian contemporary design, especially emerging designers. And to the people who made me feel lovely; @sharm_nie for styling, @kristinbrettt for glam, and my dear friend @jbk.jpeg for being my date and forever cheerleader. #vl50 @mobilia_
