JORDAN CONLAN 

Projects






Jordan is a designer and craftsperson based in Naarm (Melbourne), working across both furniture and objects; his practice interrogates the role of objects in our everyday lives in communicating ideas and connections.

Through stages of deep research and experimentation, his work pulls from historical contexts, architectural forms, and the Australian landscape, resulting in the development of objects that balance their utilitarian use with materiality, craftsmanship and storytelling.

Diosca
  •      Blackwood, Tweed, Copper, Steel

    •       A play on proportions, Disoca is a freestanding cabinet that resists perceived norms, through an intentional distortion of balance and form. The piece invites a sense of play and inquisitiveness through tactile interaction, encouraging the viewer to engage beyond what they might expect.
