This wall-hung cabinet is crafted from pine and overlaid with a composition of ceramic tiles. The piece draws inspiration from the archaeological fragments that shape our understanding of history.
The ceramic surface resembles the shards of ancient vessels and reliefs, objects that speak of cultural legacy yet remain incomplete. Like artefacts concealed beneath layers of soil, the cabinet suggests a history partially revealed, where fragments come together but never resolve into full clarity. The cabinet is both a functional object and metaphor. It is a vessel for contemporary use that simultaneously carries the presence of a past we can glimpse but never wholly uncover.

Joanne Odisho is a designer whose work reflects a deep commitment to sustainability, material innovation and conscious living. Trained in interior design, she approaches her creative practice through a spatial and human centred lens, exploring how objects shape experiences and interact with their surroundings. Her belief that design must serve both people and the planet underpins every project. Odisho develops biodegradable materials from food scraps, plant fibres and other organic matter, transforming discarded resources into purposeful and poetic forms. Each work embodies rigorous research and experimentation, offering a vision of design where environmental responsibility and aesthetic expression coexist in harmony.

Joseph Gardner is the 2025 Visionaries curator – presenting DONE/UNDONE: an exhibition of 50+ artists, and one of Craft’s largest exhibitions to date – featuring artists working across medium, scale and practice, representing exceptional Australian talent.
DONE/UNDONE explores the creative process as a space of constant negotiation – a series of decisions to build, erase, repeat, or let be. It’s about that intuitive moment when a maker chooses to pause, to push further, or to dismantle entirely. These are the choices that define the rhythm of making – choices familiar to artists, designers, and creators across disciplines.
Joseph Gardner is the Style Editor at Vogue Living, with a decade of experience in publishing and styling, and the founder of Sydney-based gallery, Studio Gardner.
