External Review: Tom Fereday in collaboration with AHEC

For Sydney Design Week 2022, Australian Design Centre hosts External Review, a collaboration between award winning designer Tom Fereday, furniture manufacturers Evostyle and upholstery specialists, Swiss Design and the American Hardwood Export Council. 

External Review follows, and celebrates, the entire design process from the source of the raw material through to manufacture and final presentation with the purpose of shared learning. Providing the chance for the wider community to engage and discuss how we may better foster a sense of thoughtful, intentional and environmentally responsible design whilst supporting Australian craftsmanship.

Tom Fereday develops unique designs originating from an intrinsic inquiry into the role of objects today, based on the principle of honest design. Born in Australia, the designer grew up in England studying at the Wimbeldon School of Art before moving to Sydney to complete Honours in Industrial Design at the University of Technology Sydney. He founded his studio in 2012 and currently works across Europe and Australia.
