The Edit: A round-up of favourite furniture and objects

Frame chair by Fomu

I loved the original aluminium design for this collection but equally delighted to see it reimagined in American oak timber, offering a warm, natural aesthetic and maintaining the strong architectural framework of the original collection. The added bonus is this range will be made in Tasmania, with Fomu setting up its own manufacturing, meaning shorter lead times and better pricing.

La-De-Da pendant light by Nightworks

This new pendant light from New Zealand design studio Nightworks is fun yet glamorous, aiming to "disrupt the straight lines in architecture." Whether you see it as a stingray, a skirt or a water ripple, it's confident in design (and in name) with its beautiful construction from pressed and precision-machined aluminium. It's available in two sizes and three colours - the silk grey is timeless but the Ember deep red is my pick.

Venice collection by Max Copolov

Presented at Melbourne's C. Gallery until 26 September (get in there quick), this exhibition of twelve pieces by artist and designer Max Copolov is instilled with tactility and a sense of nostalgia for the Wiener Werkstätte art movement. The collection includes nine marquetry coffee and occasional tables and three flat-pack table lamps constructed of hand-finished aluminium and woven metal mesh. It's the tables that have my attention, inlaid with quotidian scenes of contemporary Venetian life. Copolov is one to watch - his fascination for craftsmanship and traditional techniques and his interpretation of this for modern life is authentic and curious.

Kate Constantine collection from Willie Weston
