Jordan Fleming was announced the Winner of the Product Design category at The (Emerging) Designer Awards 2024. Watch this brief video to discover Jordan’s most recent work and explore the breadth of her practice.
On 23 October 2024, The (Emerging) Designer Awards, presented by Artedomus and The Local Project, held its Awards Ceremony at the Menzies Bar at Shell House in Sydney. The exclusive industry event welcomed more than 100 of Australia’s most esteemed architects, designers and industry stakeholders, alongside an exciting cohort of emerging practitioners.
Melbourne based designer, Jordan Fleming, was announced the Winner of the Product Design category. The jury awarded Jordan for her unique approach to materials and form, and her distinct design aesthetic – already clearly established within her emerging product design practice.
Jordan describes herself as both an artist and designer, creating idiosyncratic, experimental, and sculptural furniture and lighting objects. With a background in cabinet making and interior design, she established her own furniture design practice in 2018.
Her practice is deeply rooted in transcending the utilitarian aspects of furniture, aiming to elevate each piece beyond its programmatic function. Her work is distinguished by a whimsical and lively aesthetic, characterised by the use of tactile materials like plaster, pigment, timber, and metal. These materials enable her to imbue objects with emotion and encourage personal connections with the viewer.
