Melbourne Design Week 2024: Holder

Consider the notion of holding, of things, space and speculation with Holder. An exhibition aiming to highlight the process of craft over industrialised objects.

Holder  features the work of eight emerging craftspeople from multiple disciplines exploring our relationship to the items we choose to surround ourselves with and the value we place on them. Holder is a multi-matter exploration of honest beauty through possibility. Matter vs void, function vs ornament; Holder responds to the ways in which ambiguity and the purposeful practice of craft re-evaluates the adornment of space.

Holder is the first project of TROVE.
