What became apparent as I was preparing for LATENT SPACE: TRADITION REFRAMED was that it was less a one-off show and more an opportunity to articulate a theory that’s been quietly coalescing over recent years. It was wonderful to be able to discuss it with so many people over the course of the exhibition, and consider how it can continue to evolve as a body of work. All this is to say, watch this space!

Thank you to my loyal clients, long-term supporters and interested design lovers for coming to see these pieces over the course of the week. Your feedback and backing always give me plenty to think about and challenges to exceed. For those who couldn’t get here, selected works are available to view by appointment so please get in touch.

It’s the final weekend of Melbourne Design Week and your last chance to enjoy the tactile experience of my LATENT SPACE: TRADITION REFRAMED exhibition. I’m staying open late tonight so you can get along and see this beguiling Dressing Table from every angle. Contemporary – in fact almost post-modern – this piece also brandishes pieces of the past in its Art Deco and Art Nouveau influences as an example of maintaining tradition while ensuring continuity within modern-day making.

I’m also open Saturday and Sunday and I’d love to see you in my atelier for a chat and a look behind the scenes of my processes and inspirations.

Anton Gerner Atelier, 24 Victoria Road, Hawthorn East. The exhibition is free and is open today 3-7pm and 11am-4pm Saturday and 11am-3pm Sunday.

Above / Below marks the next iteration in the embryonic Tree Series that began with the centrepiece Tree Cabinets in 2025’s The Storm, the Craft & the Future exhibition. In this version, the tree extends beyond the visible trunk and canopy to include its root system and collapse the separation between above and below. What’s normally hidden is made present.

Above / Below is on display at my LATENT SPACE: TRADITION REFRAMED exhibition. Come and see before it closes on Sunday.

Two doors, 728 pieces of Fiddleback Tasmanian Blackwood and 182 Huon Pine dots for a total of 912 individual pieces – and that’s before you take in the cabinet, drawer shelving and leg frame. Who’s game enough to estimate the number of hours that went into putting them all together to construct my 728 / 182 Encoded Field cabinet?

Come and see it in the flesh at LATENT SPACE: TRADITION REFRAMED and discover more about how it came together, as well as other processes.

It might be a capsule collection, but there’s plenty to see at LATENT SPACE: TRADITION REFRAMED. I’m proud of the level of detail that’s gone into this exhibition, and the new direction this work has taken me. Come and see for yourself – my atelier is open every day until the exhibition closes on Sunday.
