Sketch chair

Designed by two of our industrial design students, Tiago and Greg, who are now working together in London in their own design studio diatom.

This is an open-source tool they are working on that will allow anybody to design and digitally fabricate their own furniture.  They’re really excited about this project, and would love you to check it out!

Points of Contact: Jim Allen, Len Lye, Hélio Oiticica 19 March - 22 May 2011

Current exhibition at the Adam Art Gallery: http://www.adamartgallery.org.nz/current-exhibition/

Points of Contact is an exhibition that traces the historical and conceptual connections between New Zealand artist Jim Allen (b.1922), a significant figure in the development of post-object art in New Zealand, and two of his key contemporaries: expatriate experimental filmmaker and kinetic sculptor Len Lye (1901-1980) and Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica (1937–1980).
