Artist to Artist Max Lamb and Martino Gamper

26 March 2025

In the Utzon Room

Talks and Ideas

Today’s artists, in conversation, here and now.

Industrial designers and artists Max Lamb and Martino Gamper experiment with design. With world renowned design practices that test the limits of materials, these two artists work independently to reconsider the traditional boundaries of craft, design and furniture making.

In an intimate conversation in the Utzon Room, Max and Martino centre their firebrand humour, and lifelong friendship, in a thoughtful discussion on how the design process can poetically remake the built world.

Useful information:

I am interested in the stories that materials tell and how they can be transformed through the process of making.

Max Lamb

Design should not only be a service, it can be an art form.
