Thorned Sconce

Thorned Sconce by Melbourne-based artist Julian Leigh May

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Julian Leigh May is a Naarm/Melbourne-based experimental designer embracing a spectrum of disciplines and mediums. 

Their work transcends barriers between art and design, and spans furniture, lighting and object design. Central to their practice is an interest in redefining everyday objects through new narratives, material experimentations and forms.

Julian holds an Associate Degree in Furniture Design from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Although early in their career, their work has been shown nationally and internationally, including Melbourne Design Week, Oigall Projects, Craft Contemporary, and the Taiwan Design Expo in 2022, to name a few. Julian is also a contributing designer for the ‘history making exhibition’ MELBOURNE NOW at the National Gallery of Victoria in 2023.

Julian is also one half of the creative duo behind misc objet, a curatorial partnership that aims to create safe spaces and equal opportunities for emerging designers.
