Stories provide a powerful means of communication, and in design they are part of a dynamic process involving the designer, product and owner.  Stories In Form, will explore this through the work of five Australian designers — Elliat Rich, bernabeifreeman, Henry Wilson, Cinnamon Lee and Ben McCarthy — curated by Jacqueline Power.

 

On display will be everyday objects framed in a new way, from dining chairs to lights and bowls. Each of these products by award-winning designers has a story — but it is not just the story of the journey from conception to design and production. The stories speak to the future of the objects, the past of the designer, and the input of the final user.

The four-part storytelling framework used in this exhibition is based on the research of Rina Bernabei and Kelly Freeman from UNSW Built Environment and Jacqueline Power from UTAS. The foundation for this research first emerged in the design practice of bernabeifreeman.
