Annie Paxton is a Naarm(Melbourne)-based multidisciplinary designer. She works with the very clever people at Kennedy Nolan as a Graduate of Architecture, alongside her creative practice which navigates the juncture between architecture and furniture/object, with a keen interest in how design drives and is driven by the poetics of everyday life. Her work tends to reside in the liminal - between the functional and the sculptural; the robust and the fragile; the material and the spatial. With the tendency to imbue works with patina and the trace of the hand, the interrogation of time/process as a material is often a salient driver in her practice.
