Design exhibit WORKSHOPPED 09













WORKSHOPPED 09


I visited the Workshopped 09 last saturday as well as the Power house museum. Its located in Chifley Plaza and it show cased a number of Australian furniture and product design that is very unique not to mention Cool looking.





This is one the most interesting table lamp ive seen so far, it's a Metal petal lamp that got its form duplicating a blooming flower petal at sunrise. I wondered whether the petal can be closed and open by hand, but since its on display and looks fragile I went with my better judgement not to touch the lamp ( looks expensive.. didn't wanna break it)



Slip magazine rack and Slide hall table





I personally like the traditional and cultural look to the design, its a multi-functional furniture used as a side table, stool or art decor. Its the work of collaboration between 2 aus designer Akira isogawa (fashion designer) and Fukutoshi Ueno (furniture designer)

Looking at it closely it looks like a puzzle pieces ready to be put and assembled together, the wall paper looking cover made the furniture traditionally and culturally represent the designer background. (Japanese design sooo cooll)
