David Getty: Sincere Constructive Spirit
Surrounding Objects is a design studio and workshop for objects and architectural environments. We present collections with variations on a single theme or object. The process and production of work is informed by stories, specific material research and conversations over time to create practical designs for daily use. We gravitate towards objects that represent the economical use of material, often drawing attention to common or overlooked local resources. Surrounding Objects presents these collections in varying formats as a living archive of thoughtful design. Stephanie and David Getty received their Masters in Architecture from Rhode Island School of Design. The two oversee the design and production at AGK, a family-run woodworking shop in Indonesia while currently living/working in Melbourne, Australia.
Part of Melbourne Design Week 2024.
