Introducing “Linenfold Chair” - a one-off art piece carved by
@ollie_wilcox from Oregon that was salvaged during the fit-out process of
@lost_profile_gallery
The linenfold technique—carving timber to resemble draped fabric—emerged in the late medieval period, when linen was rare and timber abundant. Today, that hierarchy is reversed. This chair, carved from reclaimed Oregon, uses an age-old method to frame timber as a precious and finite resource.
On view now as part of
@friends.associates 100 Chairs exhibition during
@ngvmelbourne #MelbourneDesignWeek2026 #100Chairs
