Max Copolov — RT4A Floor Lamp, 2025
DONE/UNDONE
Curated by Joseph Gardner
VISIONARIES 2025: Presenting the future of Australian art, craft and design through the lens of the country's most influential creatives.
—
RT4A is a floor lamp constructed from a single plank of Victorian Ash timber with a mild steel base, brushed aluminium shade, and inlaid with a floral composition made of timber veneer marquetry. The lamp's industrial construction and monolithic silhouette stands in contrast to the ornate illustrations that decorate the lamp stand.
Max Copolov (b. 1992) is a Melbourne based interior and furniture designer interested in the intersection of classical and contemporary modes of expression. Copolov’s work is driven by a fascination with traditional techniques, craftsmanship and forms borrowed from the past, and a strong desire to make these qualities resonate with audiences today.
With a background in art history and production design for film, Copolov imbues his work with a tactility and sense of nostalgia that is reminiscent of a bygone era, before the advent of mass manufacturing.
DONE/UNDONE
14 November 2025 - 7 February 2026
Joseph Gardner is the 2025 Visionaries curator – presenting Craft's largest exhibition to date: showcasing 50+ artists and 400+ artworks.
Featuring artists across medium, scale and level of experience, they represent the exceptional level of rising talent in Australia.
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.
