Bridget Saville — 'TriBOD' Ceramic Stool, 2026

TriBOD is a ceramic stool that explores the relationship between structure, weight and materiality. Its dense, folded form is composed of irregular, fleshy volumes that gather and compress to create a sense of mass and movement. Three legs support the weight of the structure and the sitter, creating an unconventional interpretation of the traditional tripod.

Bridget Saville is an emerging artist and designer based on Kaurna Country (Adelaide). Since 2022, she has worked with clay as her primary medium, exploring its intrinsic responsive qualities and its capacity to record pressure and movement. Her current practice focuses on extruding clay, developing custom extrusion dies and formwork to test the physical limits of the material and to explore the tension between control and release. Her work spans functional design and sculptural forms and is grounded in strong conceptual foundations. Bridget holds a Bachelor of Interior Design (Honours) from RMIT University and undertook the Ceramics Associate Program at JamFactory, Adelaide, in 2023–24.
