Metaphorm at Metalab

Metaphorm – an exhibition of hand constructed jewellery and objects by designer, Bridie Lander, is the latest expo to hit Metalab gallery, in Sydney. 3-26th July

June 10th, 2008

Metalab Gallery, Sydney, is about to host a solo showcase of new works by renowned jeweller and designer, Bridie Lander.

Metaphorm documents Lander’s continued fascination with the development of science and technology and how it interacts with everyday reality.
In this exhibition Lander explores the biological aspects of metamorphosis, contemplating the world of cellular division in conjuction with geometric configurations.

A studio-based designer, Lander has an extensive portfolio of work that encompasses various design disciplines from jewellery to domestic objects, furniture and lighting.

In 1995, Bridie won the Young Designer of The Year Award hosted by The Sydney Morning Herald for a lighting design developed with the co-operative Princess Produce. Her design experience has since led her to work with Gijs Bakker, director of Droog Design.
