Edward Linacre is an Industrial designer, Artist, and co-founder of Mycelium Studios. His Naarm / Melbourne based studio works across various of spectrums of light, including hand-made bespoke lighting and illuminated sculpture, permanent and temporary installations, public art, and conceptual mixed media artworks. For over a decade Edward Linacre has been reworking discarded materials and products into new projects, including major installations for premier music festivals, furniture for commercial office spaces and architectural feature lighting, and has been developing a range of experimental recycled materials with the aim of redefining the concept and perceived value of waste.

About the Project

Edward Linacre Studio was engaged by Kerstin Thompson Architects to design and manufacture a range of lighting fixtures for their prospective offices utilising the expired factory lighting and discarded warehouse components that existed on the site prior to the renovations. Both studios entered into a fruitful collaboration that resulted in the entire offices illuminated by reworked, recycled and revamped luminaries; a testament to the value of discarded materials in an industry intent on transforming a reliance on natural resources.
