Furniture designer Cam Morgan and interior designer Dasha Tolotchkov present a series of furniture objects designed to materialise adornment and ornamentation through levels of detail, finishes and exaggerated techniques. Through this, the designers question the role of ornamentation within the identity of an object, through a reflection of character, reference and meaning, and they reveal the charm between purely sculptural, ornamental furniture and the everyday object.
