Furniture Defines Home floor talk – Design Canberra Festival

Free event

Furniture Defines Home floor talk

Houses are bought and sold every day. But a house does not become a home until we move in. We live in spaces with furniture we love, that creates our home. Furniture Defines Home gives shape and meaning to how we live in our private spaces.

However, we can become trapped by our possessions. They can become our clutter. We may find the courage to embrace something new, more fitting to who we are now.

This exhibition focuses on mid-career makers emphasising hand-crafted design and aims to transition the next generation of young designer-makers to lead the renaissance of Australian manufacture.

COVID-19:
Visitors are asked to use the hand sanitizer provided before entering the Gallery. Staff monitor Gallery visitor numbers and social distancing practices of the visitors and can ask visitors to leave if they are not adhering to our Covid-19 procedures. Sanitizer has been provided outside the Gallery entrance and at the front counter. Staff have also been provided with masks which they can choose to wear. A WHO poster has been hung in the bathrooms encouraging visitors to follow safe hand washing procedures.

The Octagonal Exhibition space is not wheelchair accessible.

We honour and respect their ongoing cultural and spiritual connections to this country and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region. We aim to respect cultural heritage, customs and beliefs of all Indigenous people.
