AQUA

AQUA presents a composition of works past and present that articulate fluidity, subtle depth and a sense of enigma. Comprised of thought-provoking pieces that are perceptible in both design precision and organic variation. Objects such as mirrors, tables and a vessel are explored in a variety of materials and oceanic tones evoking a three-dimensional distillation of the space around them.

Dean Norton is a multidisciplinary designer and collaborator who develops products that consider form, function, refined detailing and harmony in materials. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences, he aims to create enduring performative works that connect on an emotional level, merging a balance between art and design whilst maintaining a minimalist aesthetic. Based in Melbourne, Australia, Norton launched his studio in 2017, drawing upon his design experience to create visually engaging, locally made pieces including furniture, objects, and lighting, re-imagining a variety of sculptural forms through the exploration of finishes and materials such as glass, mirror, steel, and timber.
