Sydney-based designer, Tom Fereday presents a solo show of glass products using his vast knowledge of manufacturing processes. The industrial nature of his designs has led to their production offshore, in environments where large-scale manufacturing supports precision, efficiency and exciting methods that aren't available in Australia.
The Latin word for sand, 'arum', serves as the inspiration for Fereday's exhibition title, celebrating the origins and the transformation of raw material into glass. The exhibition features work from his award-winning Mano and Mazer ranges.
Through a holistic approach he collaborates with renowned local makers, designers and brands with the shared view that through collaboration a more meaningful and resonating result may be found. Tom Fereday works in furniture, product design and lighting with the inherent belief that technical construction, form and exhibition be considered as one. He has been presented and published internationally through collaborations with brands including Herman Miller, Alessi and Stellarworks and exhibited through galleries including Museum of Contemporary Art, Art Gallery of New South Wales and Powerhouse Museum. In 2025 he was awarded the Best Furniture &Object Design at the Wallpaper Awards and the Vouge Living top 50 Australian Designers.
