Materials, assembly and finishing define longevity. Each piece is wired, assembled and tested in our Melbourne studio using blown glass, machined and cast metal components, patinated surface finishes and integrated LED systems developed in-house for long-term reliability. Our purpose is to support designers in realising their vision through deeply considered design. Photography @phamstapham @charliewhitewhite @matthewmcquiggan @byaaronchapman

@found.golf and @uptherestore present Clubhouse for NGV Melbourne Design Week. 14-24 May at Up There - 69 Flinders Lane. Custom Edition Sequence Lamps, made for Clubhouse. Join us for opening night celebration 6:30 - 9:30pm Thursday 14 May. The exhibition brings together designers working with sports materials, designers who are professional athletes, those reinterpreting sports-related objects, and practitioners examining their personal relationships to sport. From golf to surfing, gym equipment to dartboards, sport is reconsidered as both a cultural phenomenon and a deeply creative form of expression. #MelbourneDesignWeek @ngvmelbourne Melbourne Design Week is an initiative of the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
