Founder of Fiona Lynch Studios, Fiona Lynch’s crafted aesthetic, harmonises raw and refined, polished and supple details, into cohesive spaces that are intuitive musings on tactility, depth, light and shadow. Included in her works are alliances with contemporary artists and skilled artisans – from ceramicists to sculptors and metalworkers – a journey together that’s led to her first capsule collection of sustainable furniture comprising coffee tables in assorted geometric configurations, plus sofa and armchair. The resulting Workshop x Future Collection launches as part of Futures Collective at Villa Alba Kew, for Melbourne Design Week, 2022.
