Proud to present FUSHI, my project for the Tokai Edition of Craft x Tech. The programme brings international designers into collaboration with master craftsmen from Japan to explore new outcomes through design and cultural exchange.

FUSHI is a collection of functional objects built from a system of modular ceramic forms. Each module is manufactured to precise tolerances using the Mino Yaki method, a tradition rooted in Gifu Prefecture. Historically the domain of tableware, FUSHI reaches into new typologies entirely: furniture and lighting, through the logic of assembly over singular fabrication.

Industrial control sits in conflict with the ancient and wilful Oribe glaze. Each identical module is thrown into chaos through the random reactions of the fired surface, becoming unique and unpredictable. FUSHI celebrates this tension between the random and the perfect.

Last June I travelled to Gifu to visit the workshop of Yohei Ito at Fudogama. Some of the oldest ceramic traditions in Japan live here, shaped by craftsmen that have worked the clay for generations.

Nearly a year on the piece is ready to show later this week at the Craft x Tech Tokai Project 2026 Tokyo Exhibition, where six traditional crafts across Japan’s Tokai area have each been paired with a creator to make something new.

The Powerhouse Parramatta time capsule design draws from a lineage of thinkers and objects that dared to speak across time. Objects that believed in the future when the future was entirely unknown.

A project we are very excited about. To be unveiled later this year.

A few days in South Australia last week. Time with family, a stop into to check in on the chair project we’ve been developing with them (more on that soon), and our usual pilgrimage to McLaren Vale — it’s a happy place for our family. was gorge as always. We go for the Grenache. I went into the ocean with my jeans on. Ended the week being reminded by someone much smaller and wiser than me to stop and smell the roses.

Third Floor

A private bar we designed for a residence in Sydney, in collaboration with Brad Swartz Architects.

The brief was to create a dedicated space for entertaining. What we found interesting was how much that single idea could hold. A temperature controlled wine cabinet, a bar, a fireplace, a sitting room. Each part distinct, but the whole reading as one considered interior.

The space is defined by solidity and softened edges. A robust selection of materials runs throughout, and much of the careful detailing is concerned with how those materials meet each other.

Time is a luxury. This project made us think about it in an entirely new way.

Typically we think of our projects in terms of years, sometimes decades. This one is measured in generations. The 100-year time capsule we designed for Powerhouse Museum Parramatta is expressly designed for people who do not yet exist.

That shift in perspective changes everything about how to approach crafting this object. My thinking is less about conventional functionality, but about permanence, memory, and the optimism of projecting forward. The capsule is conceived in advanced alloys and realised in collaboration with AMRF through advanced manufacturing techniques, ready for 2125.

We’ve been developing some updated imagery and are sharing some of it here: renders, details, and one of the initial hand sketches. We’re looking forward to seeing the final curation of objects selected by the team at The Powerhouse before this one goes into the ground later this year.

This is the Business Class seat we designed for the new A321 XLR. There have been many articles written and many nice things said, which is lovely. So we thought we’d share some of our internal renders and design studies — quick images produced to explore details in different lights and material combinations. The kind of work that happens before anything gets built.

This seat has been in the air for a couple of years now and was manufactured by in Germany.
