AM.A at Melbourne Now
NGV, Ian Potter Centre - 2023
We are thrilled to be included in No House Style at the NGV, an exhibition celebrating the diverse voices defining contemporary Melbourne design. Curators Timothy Moore and Simone LeAmon frame the exhibition as a rebellion against mainstream, one-size-fits-all design trends:
"No House Style assembles leading and emerging Melbourne-based furniture designers and architects whose contrasting styles are emblematic of the city’s creative spirit. Refuting mainstream design trends, these designers and architects are helping to establish a picture of contemporary Melbourne design that is independent, original, plural and expressive of contemporary issues and values."

The physical exhibition itself is designed to mirror the intimate relationship between people, spaces, and objects, bringing the curators' vision to life in a tangible way:
"No House Style comes together in an installation referencing a domestic interior – a tableaux of small rooms, or simply one – accompanied by images of residential architecture in Victoria. Under cultural examination, the work of these architects and designers, and the tastes of their clients, tell unique stories about designing and making in Melbourne now."
Having our work placed within this "tableaux" is an honour, and we are grateful to the NGV team for highlighting the independent spirit of Melbourne’s creative community.
