ASSEMBLY | FINAL WEEKEND
Saturday and Sunday 10.00 AM-5.00 PM

A celebration of objects, the people who make them and the rituals that bring us together.

Featuring works designed to be lived with, used and shared, ASSEMBLY explores how crafted objects shape connection, hospitality and everyday life. In welcoming these pieces into our spaces, we also welcome the stories, skills and creative communities behind them.
At Gaffa, we have always resisted disciplinary boundaries. We believe meaningful cultural exchange emerges through dialogue between practices, extending beyond the traditional white cube and into the spaces we inhabit.
Reflecting the precinct’s history and continued evolution as a creative hub, ASSEMBLY brings together an exceptional community of makers and designers whose practices celebrate materiality, experimentation and the enduring value of the handmade.

Meet Cassian Sim of ULUROOM

‍ULUROOM is an Australian design studio exploring space, material and colour through furniture made for living. Working with honest, durable materials including premium 304 stainless steel, the studio creates pieces that are architectural yet approachable, sculptural yet functional.
‍
For ULUROOM, assembly is central to the experience of design. Through intuitive, tool-free construction, flat-packed components become architectural forms, transforming assembly from a logistical necessity into a tactile interaction between user and object.

🔥 Sharing the Magic of CURIO 🔥

Yesterday, Gaffa Creative Precinct was treated to a mesmerizing, behind-the-scenes look at the raw artistry of A_STUDIO

If you missed explore Gareth and Mark’s beautiful collection in show and for sale until November 1st 😏

As part of the ASSEMBLY exhibition, Creative Director Gareth Martin stepped up to the counter for a live demonstration, peeling back the layers on how their modernist CURIO table objects and scented candles come to life.

From carefully measuring and mixing raw compounds to pouring the rich, liquid materials into precision molds, the workshop was an intimate look at the meticulous craftsmanship that defines their brand.

A_STUDIO’s philosophy is all about creating modular pieces meant to be remixed, rearranged and reimagined over time - bringing form, function and a distinct spirit of play into our everyday spaces.

Seeing the fluid transition from raw materials to sculptural art IRL was pure magic. Thank you to everyone who came out to witness the process, ask questions and celebrate 20 years of design-led craft at Gaffa!

Special acknowledgements to in-house curator and contemporary jeweller Deanna for this event 👏🏼
