At Lost Profile, he designs and fabricates a restrained collection of Art Deco and Brutalist-inspired lighting, furniture, homewares and hardware, produced in-house and made to order. Alongside this commercial practice, Oliver develops an independent body of artwork encompassing painting and one-off sculptural furniture. His work frequently incorporates salvaged timber and other reclaimed materials, drawing on traditional craft techniques, vernacular forms and the history of objects. Through these works, he explores materiality, craftsmanship and shifting notions of value, bringing familiar forms and processes into a contemporary context.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e —\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\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.
