Coco Flip Presents ‘Dancer Editions’ at Melbourne Design Week 2025
Presented as part of Melbourne Design Week 2025, ‘Dancer Editions’ is a collaborative exhibition by Coco Flip, showcasing lighting and sculptural objects created with local architects alongside artist Belinda Wiltshire.
As part of Melbourne Design Week 2025, Melbourne-based furniture and lighting studio Coco Flip presents ‘Dancer Editions’, a collaborative exhibition that brings together architects, designers and artists to explore ideas of movement, pattern and materiality. On display at Kennedy Nolan’s Fitzroy studio, the exhibition centres on Coco Flip’s new Dancer lighting collection, designed in collaboration with Melbourne ceramicist Belinda Wiltshire.
Alongside this core collection is a series of one-off lighting pieces and sculptural homeware objects created in collaboration with five respected architecture and interior studios: DesignOffice, Kennedy Nolan, Placement, SSdH and Without Studio. These works, also made in collaboration with Wiltshire, offer distinct and personal responses to the theme.
The Dancer collection draws inspiration from Oskar Schlemmer’s Triadisches Ballett, a 1920s Bauhaus performance that used costuming and choreography to distort and emphasise the dancers’ movements. Featuring sculptural forms made from mid-fire clay with a bold, black, iron-oxide finish, the pieces are expressive and full of character. ‘Dancer Editions’ celebrates interdisciplinary collaboration and, like the ballet, plays with rhythm, form and character to offer a fresh perspective on lighting and object design.
All pieces on exhibit will be available via an online auction, with proceeds donated to Seed Mob, a First Nations youth organisation committed to climate justice and empowering community-led change.
‘Dancer Editions’, 21-25 May, Kennedy Nolan, 61 Victoria Street, Fitzroy. The online auction will take place from 21-31 May. See here for details.
