Warmer by Charlie White debuts a new range of design objects by the designer and artist.

Through the iteration of one lamp realised in different sizes and materials, the exhibition comprises a series of lanterns that explore the way light permeates through a range of materials and scales. An exercise in refinement rather than invention, the intention is to create a suite of objects that can add warmth and domesticity to a space. The exhibition enjoys the luxury of being able to share one idea as a suite of prototypes rather than as a single object.

This venue is accessed by stairs. For those unable to access the exhibition via the stairs, a private viewings of the work can be arranged by coordination with the exhibitor.

Charlie White

The furniture and object design of Charlie White is characterised by the transformation of unlikely materials into design archetypes. Through his arrangement of materials to perform structural functions, White creates an aesthetic language of sombre, gothic plasticity with an economy of means. His seductive and expressive works freely traverse the ambiguity between art and functionality. Working in Architecture practice, White’s design background is rooted in his formative studies in Fine Art at the Canberra School of Art and the Glasgow School of Art. Along with degrees in Philosophy and Architecture from the University of Melbourne, White’s design work positions itself as part of a greater historical continuity of spatial understanding.
