Tall Poppy.
A beautiful gathering of artists and makers for this year’s Melbourne Design Week 2026.
Thrilled to be included in this exhibition curated by @tiffanyjade_writer at @kellilundberg.art .
Found objects, thoughtful forms, and a collection of work now on view as part of the Design Week program.
Elvis Sabi is the creative partnership of two artisans, Bec and Lauren, who have forged
a unique relationship between the landscapes of art and design. The studio’s story is anchored by their shared aesthetic vision of transforming sustainable residential construction offcuts into striking totem sculptures and artworks. Merging visual poetry and compositional prowess, they craft pieces that radiate warmth and invite touch. Those that seamlessly mediate between contemporary sculptural form and ancient material narrative.
The duo skilfully blends playfulness with intention, utilising diverse materials such as
marble, limestone, timber, and metals shaping pieces that hero the liberating resonance of unapologetic beauty. Their creations encourage dialogue and connection, embodying a resolved quality that is simple and majestic. Totems serve as anchors within a myriad of environments, while framed works reveal a fluid dance of sequences and patterns, capturing a raw elegance that is both innovative and deeply rooted in nature’s simplicity.

Soft curves meet solid stone in a play of rhythm and restraint. A sculptural pair of side tables that balance proportion, texture, and contrast—complete in unity or apart.
