Mafi Open Workshop

April 13th, 2012

As part of Brisbane Indesign, Mafi will be holding an open workshop across Friday and Saturday, exploring the limitless possibilities of Mafi products.

Visit the top floor of Space Furniture and see a highly skilled Mafi craftsman using timber to create something truly beautiful out of nothing.

The event will coincide with the highly anticipated Mafi Carving Range now available in Australia.

This innovative range provides both a new look and a unique marketing tool. The exclusively designed and manufactured Carving Range floors feature brand or campaigned elements selected by the customer, whilst still providing all the ambience and warmth of an all-natural Mafi wood floor. Discover the Mafi Carving Range at Brisbane Indesign on 25 and 26 May.

Don’t miss the Mafi-inspired installation for The Project, created in collaboration with HASSELL and a selection of talented QUT Interior Design students.

Streets Ahead: RMIT’s New Academic Street

How do our universities cater to education’s ‘new consumers’? That is 21st century students – new age info-natives who study, socialise and ‘hang’ in the spaces in-between home and the lecture theatre. RMIT’s New Academic Street is a radical re-make of a rapidly ageing campus, addressing changing student needs with a complex design scheme that puts the emphasis on technology and study.

The Review, part two: ‘Truth and Lies in Architecture’ by Richard Francis-Jones

Timothy Alouani-Roby met with Richard Francis-Jones of fjcstudio (previously fjmtstudio) to discuss his timely, provocative and, quite frankly, necessary book on architecture. In this second part of the book review, we turn to the question of what architects can do in the face of crises from climate breakdown to alienation of place.

Brave new worlds made possible with Tilt

Ostensibly an industrial design consultancy, Tilt was born of the observation of an increasing gap between architectural ambition and construction capability. The skill set lies in facilitating the inherently creative bent of architects, landscape architects and artists with engineering and industrial design solutions.
