Local Design x Kozminsky Exhibition. To celebrate 165 years of Kozminsky, the Pedestal for a Pearl Table by Dowel Jones references 19th century furniture of Kozminsky’s founding years. Dowel Jones portrait. After the success of Round Diamond Rug through Designer Rugs, Emma Elizabeth wished to create a 1/1 piece that heightened the experience and sense of this design. This monochromatic piece for Kozminsky has reflective levels that will never be repeated that display a one of a kind sense of elegance and grandeur. Emma Elizabeth portrait. The limited Greenway luminaires by Alex Fitzpatrick are finished in brushed pewter with a clear hand-blown glass diffuser to reflect Kozminsky’s exquisite antique jewellery collection.

Designed by Christopher Boots, ORP: Oblique Rhombic Prism celebrates sacred geometry, ascribing symbolic and sacred meanings to geometric proportions and shapes, and associated with the belief system that a higher consciousness is the creator of the world. Christopher Boots portrait. Inspired by the naturally occurring geometric forms of Quartz. This limited edition collection of vessels designed by Alexander Lotersztain reflects the prismatic beauty and semi-precious qualities of what is amongst the Earth's most abundant minerals.

Inspired by traditional optic glass moulding the light utilises the ancient Italian technique to create an intricate linear glass shade. Tom Fereday portrait.

LOCAL DESIGN’s founder & creative director Emma Elizabeth has worked closely with the passionate team at Kozminsky, arriving to the conclusion that the 165th birthday is something that needed to be celebrated through the theatre and eye of the design world.Kirsten Albrecht, owner of Kozminsky, is a unique connector and advocate for the arts. The fusion of her ethos with Emma’s energy and eye was the perfect unity for this anniversary project. Emma Elizabeth then looked to current leading Australian design pioneers to see who was already working with, or could work within the idea of facets, reflections, jewellery and history.The most unique quality that stood about Kozminsky is they offered their clients a unique product, a rare find, a one off piece that evoked a memory or celebrated a new memory in the making. Each of the selected seven designers – Ross Gardam, Christopher Boots, Tom Fereday, Dowel Jones, Alexander Lotersztain, Alex Fitzpatrick and Emma Elizabeth – worked to create a one off piece that was a reflection on the brand and an extension of their practice.Emma Elizabeth has worked along side the Kozminsky team, to curate, direct and style this vision across print media, installation and event activations. Exhibition runs from November 11th 2016 – January 3rd 2017 2nd Level of Kozminsky, 421 Bourke Street, Melbourne. [Images courtesy of LOCAL DESIGN.
