Melbourne-based Charlwood Design has created The Ribbons of Life — a unique lighting concept inspired by the distinctive and intricate organic structures of nature for The Design Institute of Australia’s Light + Shade exhibition which is part of Victoria’s State of Design Festival . Drawing on a DNA strand as a starting point, Charlwood was interested in exploring the way light interacts with complex shapes. The result is a futuristic, intriguing form that diffuses light into dense, multi-layered shadows. Using their in-house 3D printer for fabrication allowed the creation of new forms previously impossible to manufacture using traditional methods. The final material, a form of ABS plastic gives a soft amber glow to light as it passes through it

The Melbourne-based architecture firm, Marcus O’Reilly Architects , designed this coffee table with a tabletop that is constructed using driftwood found on local beaches in St. Kilda, Australia. Each piece of driftwood is trimmed to size, wire brushed, colored, waxed, and placed on a simple black steel frame. This top is unique as it is, but the wooden pieces hold their own distinction with dissimilar stamps, holes, and markings.
