about
Locki is a Naarm [Melbourne] based furniture designer and 3D artist whose work spans both physical and digital mediums. Growing up in Eora [Sydney], they studied Science & Arts at the University of Sydney before developing a love for furniture working as an upholsterer.
Locki's work re-interprets traditional forms and methods for a modern audience, and by using few visible fixtures, they are able to achieve clean silhouettes that are dramatic and playful in proportion. With a particular focus on minimal intervention and sustainable design practices, Locki believes that good design should intentionally and carefully walk the line between beauty and function.
