Stories In Form

We are delighted to introduce Object's beautiful fresh exhibition Stories in Form.
Featuring the work of both established and rising stars of Australian design, this exhibition explores innovation and the narrative behind design objects. At the heart of the exhibition is the idea of interactivity and the exploration of the way products are used through time. Jacqueline Power has curated this show to track the initial ideas that inspire the designers and their products, to the changes that occur to the product over a lifetime. Each piece in the show has a unique story and is made utilising innovative processes,such as re-purposing functional objects, manufacturing and integration. The exhibition highlights the way that objects are designed to intertwine with our daily lives and perhaps form domestic rituals through their use. Featuring Henry Wilson, Elliat Rich, bernabeifreeman, Cinnamon Lee and Ben McCarthy, Stories in Form will be showing in Object's main gallery until 25th March and is part of Art Month Sydney. For more information on these talented designers head to Object Eye.

In good Company

Today is the first day of the latest object exhibition In Good Company presented by &company. The exhibition provides a glimpse into the complex relationships and process behind 'local, sustainable, intelligent' design.

Designers of today are stepping up to the challenges of a changing world, stretching creative powers, re-imagining new ways of living, and exploring the potential role of design.
Design is an often elusive process that calls for creative collaboration with mates, mentors, makers, marketers - a complex network of skilled and passionate individuals. In Good Company will take you behind the scenes and introduce you to the people that make it happen. Sit side-by-side with the creators in their studio, workshops and even the dinner table. Join us in a celebration of the local creative industry that underpins Sydney's design community. Focusing on coffee, food and cycling, Object will also be running design clinics in Feburary.

In Good Company features:
Design By Them, Trent Jansen, Dinosaur Designs, Cloth, Oliver Smith, Mud, Vert Design, Koskela, High tea with Mrs Woo + more.

Lots of great design pieces to buy...

Exhibition runs from 29 January - 3 April 2011
