Strange Planet is a collection of new lighting works by Robert Foster, designer and founder of F!NK Design.

Ghost Adrift

The pieces do indeed look as if they might come from another galaxy or universe, with their zoomorphic shapes and mesmerising glow.

White Chrystalis

Foster loves to explore and push the boundaries between lighting installations and sculpture, engaging audiences in new and exciting ways.

If you’re in Canberra or its surrounds, this is an exhibition not to be missed.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
