The American Hardwood Export Council presents a selection from Discovered. This curation of designs from the original London exhibition is a platform to promote and support design’s next generation. 

10 Designers from the Asia Pacific region were amongst those selected to create a piece that represents the functional and emotional connections to our everyday objects, guided by the themes of touch, reflection, and strength. 

Manufactured by partners in Malaysia and Sydney, the pieces will be on display at Red Dot Design Museum, Singapore from 16th to 22nd May 2024. 

A cross cultural collaboration between Trent Jansen, Tanya Singer and Errol Evans in which the designers have learnt from each other’s unique relationships with Country, family and community. Realised in American hard maple, cherry and walnut. 

For Sydney Design Week 2022, the Australian Design Centre hosts External Review, a collaboration between the American Hardwood Export Council, award winning designer Tom Fereday, furniture manufacturers Evostyle and upholstery specialists, Swiss Design. External Review follows, and celebrates, the entire design process from the source of the raw material through to manufacture and final presentation with the purpose of shared learning. 

8 of Australia’s most highly regarded designers reimagine their works in American tulipwood.

Anne-Claire Petre, Adam Goodrum, Adam Markowitz, Coco Reynolds, Dowel Jones, Jon Goulder, Ross Gardam and Tom Skeehan rose to the challenge of  replacing the timber they normally use for their signature designs with American tulipwood. Tulipwood has been favoured in Europe for generations, but is little known in Australia.
