Fiona Lynch Office
NGV Melbourne Design Week 2025
The Fiona Lynch Archive is a reflective offering — a collection that maps the studio’s design language across 14 years of thinking, making, and evolving. It brings together a curated constellation of prototypes, furniture, lighting, and objects — some imagined within the walls of the studio, others gathered from afar. Each piece holds a memory, a test, or a trace of process.
Presented for the first time as an exhibition, the archive acts as an interior portrait of Fiona Lynch Office: a material diary that speaks to the studio’s foundational values — craftsmanship, experimentation, restraint, and the emotional resonance of space. It contains fragments of past collaborations, objects that never made it into final projects, and prototypes that marked the beginning of new directions. Some are raw. Others refined. All are intentional.

This is not a retrospective, nor a static collection. The archive is alive — shifting and responsive, shaped by use, context, and inquiry. It reveals the rhythms of studio practice: the influence of place, the nuance of material, the value of time.
Visitors are invited into this layered backdrop — to see how small moments of trial and detail quietly inform the larger gestures of Fiona Lynch Office’s work. A rare viewing into what usually remains unseen: the physical and poetic residue of process.
