about
Locki’s approach to object design focuses on minimal intervention, craft and sustainability. Their process is driven by both intuition and intention, an exploration of material, colour, texture, proportion and the potential of recycled materials. Championing Australian manufacturing and designing for deconstruction, Locki's contemporary furniture and lighting challenge convention by balancing craft and innovation. The resulting pieces feel both familiar and refreshingly new.
