This exhibition presents a new collaboration between Dowel Jones and Pendleton, a partnership that brings together contemporary Australian design and more than 100 years of American textile production.
Pendleton’s iconic, historically grounded textiles are repurposed as upholstery fabrics, while Dowel Jones continues its exploration of collaboration with textile mills and craft.
On Friday 15 May, a public staring competition will be hosted within the exhibition. The staring competition will operate as a live, in-person tournament. Contestants can enter on the day, and will compete head-to-head, progressing through rounds until a single overall winner is determined. Prizes include a HAVN voucher, Pendleton blanket, and one of the new Pendleton & Dowel Jones lounge chair for those who are present during the championship.
Dowel Jones’s previous collaborations include the release of the Geelong Weaving Mill Sister Chairs and Lounges in 2022.
