Melbourne Design Week 2026

Fused Deposition / Molten Tension showcases the work of two Melbourne artists undertaking raw explorations in new mediums as part of their ongoing practice.

Daniel Barbera, a designer and maker with a decades long practice in industrial/furniture design, will show his sculptural glass work alongside interdisciplinary artist Tom Blachford, showing his first ever series of sculpture.

Both artists employ highly iterative processes in contrasting methods; one using tactile traditional processes, the other integrating computer aided fabrication technologies.

At the event expect interactive design & live manufacture. Process outcomes that are uncurated and experimental. Both Daniel and Tom’s pieces are available for sale.

Opening Event 19th May – Booking
