• ON THE RADAR
  The variety and scope of the AUSTRALIAN DESIGN community continues to make leaps and bounds with these three Australian creative TALENTS adding their unique voices and distinctive output to the conversation. THE DISRUPTOR OIGÅLL PROJECTS What’s an Oigåll — a forest dwelling mole native to Finland? “That’s funny,” says Andy Kelly, artistic director of the project space flashing said name across a window on Melbourne’s city-edge Gertrude Street. “It’s the nickname of Mitchell’s maternal grandmother — Oigåll, that’s Oiiiiigall.” He works the word into an emphatic pout and lets his partner Mitchell Zurek run with the story of Gertrude Spilsbury who hated her name, changed it to Irene and endured her husband’s debasement of its lyricism to Oigåll. “She was always creatively tinkering in the garden, urging me to ‘give it a go’,” says Zurek of living with her for four years while studying landscape architecture at RMIT University.
• SHIFTING SHADES
  Cementing her status as a master of TACTILE flourishes and VIBRANT colour use, designer Bethan Laura Wood is set to unveil a major career milestone at NGV Triennial. Bethan Laura Wood is nervous. “I’m like a bad backseat driver right now, kind of on tenterhooks hoping to see everything finished,” she says. I’m speaking to the designer in London via Zoom, as she awaits the latest photos from Italian veneer specialists Alpi, who are assembling the intensely hued wood pieces that feature in her latest installation. After making several trips to Italy to check them and tweak the design, Wood is waiting to hear if all the pieces fit. Considering she has been crafting this defining work for close to a year, it’s understandable that the British creative is anxious about seeing her vision coming together.
• THE VL EDIT

• CATCH THE LIGHT
  JEAN-MICHEL FRANK and American Psycho may seem like odd bedfellows, but all were style touchstones for designer Gillian Khaw’s SYDNEY harbourside family apartment. As The New York Times columnist Frank Bruni put it: “Decades are like people. Some take up more oxygen than others.” Which makes the 1980s positively vampiric, suggests Sydney designer Gillian Khaw of the gaudy spectacle of politics and cultural peacocking that defined her childhood and made her swear off bad denim and big hair forever. But don’t we all revile and later return with begrudging affection to our first beginnings, the question asked of the Handelsmann + Khaw co-founder who makes the ‘mea culpa’ confession of recently buying back into the era and embracing the big dream energy sparked by its deregulation of banks.
