About

Nicole Lawrence is a Melbourne based designer specialising in Furniture and Lighting objects. A pragmatist through and through, her works are designed to offer new interpretations of functional pieces that will go the distance. Lawrence values the expertise of local industry and commits to producing her pieces locally with a focus on sustainable growth.

"When working with organic shapes in industrial materials you have to always cut away from the straight engineered lines to find your form. This work explores how to create value in what’s cut away and to re-interpret the negative space created. "
