Description
Matter is an assemblage of over-scaled timber vessels and totemic installations by artist and designer Fiona Lynch. The space aligns art with purpose, subtly concealing concierge services within the composition for 80 Collins Street. Our moss green Elmonordic leather seamlessly blends comfortable sculptural seating with intricate handworked forms. Fiona Lynch worked in collaboration with Shou Sugi Ban artist, Makiko Ryujin and hand turner Charles Sandford on the timber elements. Symbolising beginning and end, the work is a meditation on matter and time, offering pause for contemplation and rest while inviting nature and ritual into the experience of elemental beauty.
