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.

Key Stool
  •      Ebonised blackwood, Brass, Leather

    •       A functional piece, adaptable to a range of environments and hard to fill spaces, this work draws inspiration from the harshness and brutality of our surrounding landscape. A conventional form reimagined through craft and precise detailing, balancing utility with air of refinement.
