Meet Weaver by Elliat Rich, a credenza that is slightly more creature than object. Intertwining utility with narrative, Weaver showcases the different perspectives of Australian design, celebrating the unique art form and imagination of the designer.

MEET ELLIAT RICH
Elliat Rich is an artist, producer, researcher, experimenter and resource developer. She is based within the complex and enriching socio-bio-historical ecology of Mparntwe, Alice Springs.
For Rich the design process is a creative translation between materials and culture, alive to a broader context of power and social value. Led by curiosity, enriched through wonder and always calling on the possibilities of the imagination.
Through these cabinets Elliat continues her exploration of the mythological entity, Weaver. “Weaver incorporates tactility, colour and unconventional combinations of materials as a way of perforating through the confines and expectations of the everyday. Weaver exists at multiple scales and times, continuously weaving together all the patterns that make up our planet.” — Elliat Rich
Made in Australia, Weaver is a sculptural, striking and animated addition to any entryway or living space. Available in Copper and Ultra Blue, the design features crafted timber joinery veiled by hand-dyed woven locks that bring a sense of discovery.
