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. 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.
