"Could there be a more poignant document of daily life than a lived-in room? A chair, a bed, a shaft of warm light drawn from a window.

Sam Hartnett has spent the last two decades capturing small moments in the spaces that we occupy. Fleeting moments and encounters are rendered as quiet markers for all that’s worth remembering.
 
For Objectspace eight chair portraits taken during research trips for an exhibition whirring into life. An exhibition telling a story of design and making in Aotearoa through a single object – the chair. Captured with clarity, these objects are singular for their design and storytelling, each crafted and made with the hands. Sam documents them in workshops, lounges and fish and chips shops. Each a tribute to their maker, an emblem for an exhibition in the making, and of course, an ode to the simple joy of good design.” – Kim Paton

“Is there anything better than a crafted object that quite literally omits a warm embrace? Daegan Wells exceeds all expectations in the Venn diagram where craftmanship meets grace, with a high dose of cozy. The outcome isn’t just righteously lovely, it’s also utterly humane.

For Objectspace his three ‘Made for the Home’ blankets and rugs seem to gently remind us to be kind to ourselves, and to each other. To own one of these works is to submit to a world where the objects we love don’t just look good, they ask us to feel good too.”– Kim Paton
