Alt. material celebrates the ingenuity of Australian designers
There are some that might argue the beauty of creativity lies in its ability to overcome challenges. What better opportunity to test this belief than in the midst of a global pandemic" Alt. material’s latest exhibition, ingenuity, did exactly that in September: bringing together 22 Australian designers to respond to the titular theme with limited means, using readily available and workable materials.
Of course, a physical display of the works was out of the question, so the exhibition and an auction were run via Instagram.
Here’s a selection of designers’ responses to a brief that was directly inspired by a year unlike any other of late.
TRANSPORT CHAIR by Elliot Bastianon
Transport Chair uses common packaging and transport materials to create a piece of furniture. The mechanics of the design are very straightforward and suggest different ways of looking at things which are easily accessible.
Friends by a.c.v. studio and Dale Hardiman
Friends are a collection of pins designed and made by a.c.v studio from conversations and
materials shared with Dale Hardiman from other Melbourne creative friends.
GRID-WORK CANDLE HOLDER by B-TD
The Grid-Work Candle Holder is a puzzle-like object made from a set of aluminium off-cuts. The design is intended for our COVID times in which every day is blending to the next. The design allows for a small daily ritual of re-invention, with the possibility of a new candle holder every day.
