The piece was developed by Max Copolov as a celebration of the craft of marquetry, a classical technique of inlaying decorative motifs into furniture using exotic timber veneers. Due to the highly intricate, time-consuming nature of the craft, its popularity has faded over time and has become an out-of-reach furniture style for most design enthusiasts. Max's intention with this work is to subvert the historically ornamental style of marquetry by creating an illustration of a contemporary scene from his childhood. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnremarkable in its subject matter, the work harkens to a bygone era of the decorative arts, with art-historical references to Classical Romanticism and formal qualities such as linear perspective. By re-contextualising the subject matter , Max is not only attempting to reposition this craft as one that is just as vital today, he is also inviting the viewer to engage with the illustrated scene at hand, to look beyond its formal construction and to consider who these people are, where they came from, and when they lived. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMax Copolov is a Melbourne based interior and furniture designer interested in the intersection of classical and contemporary modes of expression. His 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.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith a background in art history and production design for film, Copolov imbues his work with a tactility and a sense of nostalgia that is reminiscent of a bygone era, before the advent of mass manufacturing. A particular period of interest is the Wiener Werkstätte, of which his great-grandfather was a disciple, with its celebration of form and craft in a rapidly evolving world. The work that his family produced during this period is a constant source of inspiration and motivation, contributing to his developing design Philosophy.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhatever the medium, Copolov's intentions are plain: to develop a body of work that is accessible to anyone; that celebrates the past on the long and progressive march forward.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e —\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/craft.org.au\/whats-on\/all-events\/visionaries-2026\/\"\u003eVISIONARIES 2026 \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"header\" id=\"header\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-v-396eebe8=\"\" class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12 November 2026 - 6 February 2027\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.craft.org.au\/collections\/visionaries-2026\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e View the exhibition collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCraft Victoria presents \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eVisionaries 2026, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecurated by Tali Roth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eVisionaries\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is Craft’s flagship exhibition series, designed to create meaningful pathways between Australia’s exceptional makers and the wider worlds of design, culture and everyday life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTali Roth is the founder and creative director of the award-winning Studio Tali Roth.
