Duncan Meerding Studio
Shed 1/45b Burnett St, North Hobart
Saturday, Nov 07
Designer: Duncan Meerding
Inside the Studio: Light, Material, Making
Step inside the working studio of Hobart-based furniture and lighting designer Duncan Meerding and discover the hands, materials and ideas behind his internationally recognised work.
Inspired by the wild landscapes of Tasmania, Duncan creates furniture and lighting that celebrates the character of natural materials, including reclaimed timber. Rather than hiding imperfections, knots, cracks and marks, his work often invites us to look closer and appreciate what the material already has to say.
Explore the studio and get a glimpse of the journey from raw material to finished piece. See where ideas are developed, materials are selected and objects are made, and discover how sustainability, ethical practice and a close relationship between maker, object and customer shape the work.
Come and have a look behind the scenes, meet the maker and discover what happens when Tasmanian landscapes, materials and imagination come together.

![Open House Hobart and the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) Tasmania @emagn_tas would like to thank everyone who kindly bid in this year's annual Sheltered [Ground] Silent Auction.
We watched the last-minute bidding war on some items (looking at your chair, @other_furniture_) with absolute glee; because, together, you helped raise over $8000 for the Hobart Women's Shelter @hobartwomensshelter. Legends. THANK YOU!!
If you missed out on an item, but you'd still like to support HWS, please head to the link in bio to make a donation. Your financial help plays a critical role in supporting service delivery and therapeutic programs, and fund strategic projects such as building long-term homes. Such programs provide opportunities for women and children to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Finally, congratulations to those who outbid everyone else – enjoy your beautiful pieces, knowing there's a string of jealous individuals who missed out. Don't worry! We'll do it all again next year.
