The cat's out of the bag, and we couldn't be more excited to share that we will be a part of the 2025 Rigg Deisgn Prize. We're already deep in the development process, and looking forward to showing what will be a very special project. This one feels like it brings together all the elements and processes that have come to define our studio - waste material recontextualisation, craft making process innovation and a visual language driven by concept. We've roped in old friends to help as production partners and honour their knowledge of materials and craft in our work.

The Rigg Design Prize is Australia’s most prestigious accolade for contemporary design. Since its inception in 1994, this triennial prize exhibition has featured over one hundred designers across a range of disciplines, celebrating their creative achievements and providing a valuable platform for visibility, recognition and impact.
For its landmark tenth edition in 2025, the $40,000 prize will be awarded to an early-career Australian design practice, drawing attention to the new generation of talent. Bringing together thirty-five emerging designers under the age of 35, the exhibition spans ceramics, glass, furniture, woodwork, metalwork, textiles, lighting and contemporary jewellery, presenting ambitious works that reflect bold approaches to materiality, form and function.
