Interview: Jan Ernst on His Journey as a Designer

Jan Ernst is a multidisciplinary creative specializing in functional art and spatial design using clay as his main medium. The work is driven by his fascination with natural structures such as corals, fungi, and rock formations. His organic designs stem from his abstract understanding of form and space influenced by his background in architecture, his connection with the natural world, and his South African heritage.  This week, we had the opportunity to speak to Jan to learn more about his journey as a designer, his inspirations, and vision for the future!

"Design the world you want" at Melbourne Design Week 2022

Melbourne Design Week (MDW) is back and celebrating design in their annual 11-day programme filled with talks, tours, exhibitions, launches, installations, and workshops across Australia's coastal capital. Returning with their sixth edition, the event champions design by promoting its broad array of disciplines ranging from communication design, industrial design and architecture to interior design, landscape architecture, urban design, craft and functional art. The uniting feature of these fields is a focus on experimentation, innovation, and ideas that enrich the world.  MDW is a platform for designers, educators, enthusiasts, thinkers and businesses to come together to share ideas, show and sell new work, and consider how design can be used as a force for good in an increasingly complex and precarious world. The curation of MDW is led by the NGV Department of Contemporary Design and Architecture team (Ewan McEoin, Simone LeAmon and Myf Doughty alongside Timothy Moore, Director of Sibling Architecture).  From 17 to 27 March 2022, the dynamic programme will transform Melbourne and parts of regional Victoria with a series of exhibitions, talks, films, tours and workshops, including the biennial Australian Furniture Design Award, the launch of the Melbourne Design Fair. This year MDW continues to respond to the theme "Design the world you want", celebrating the diverse ways design can work towards a better future.

Nathan Yong's Latest Collection: 'FAREWELL TO REASON'

Singaporean artists and designer Nathan Yong has just released 'FAREWELL TO REASON' - a collection of functional objects of art made of "fluid" marble. This collection marks a technical premiere and a new chapter in the history of design. A tribute to Brutalism, these architectural pieces are a nod to Modernism, fusing human savoir-faire, the natural beauty of onyx and state-of-the-art technology. These designs are made from onyx, a banded stone not unlike agate. The colour variation comes from the dissolving and redepositing of the limestone. The strikingly luminescent stone varies from white to black and every hue in between. The subtle colouration contributes to its unique appeal, as does the translucency of onyx, which allows light to shine through in certain applications. Each piece is unique by nature and only produced in a limited edition
