The Campfire table will be included in the exhibition THING beware the material world at the Art Gallery of Western Australia from 18 April - 5 July 2009.

The Art Gallery of Western Australia has a strong tradition in the collection and display of craft and design. Central to this engagement have been the three Triennials held at the Gallery over the late eighties and nineties.

THING beware the material world extends this legacy by bringing together a range of works which challenge our perceptions of what design is and can be. A bold exhibition of furniture, lighting, sculpture and photography from across the globe, it celebrates the human impulse to shape and re-shape the world around us. THING includes works made from a range of processes including hi-tech machining, creative recycling and delicate handcrafting. Instead of focussing on style, THING opens up a consideration of the material forces and design imperatives that have brought these objects into being.
