Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts: Strand by Adam Cornish for NAU

Strand takes its cues from braided steel cables, bringing together three aluminium strands into unison to create the designs’ silhouette. These are humble pieces, yet with a quiet fortitude that emphasises their sense of purposeful functionality.

The contemporary Brutalist backdrop highlights the pieces’ clean lines and strong materiality.

Their broad applicability, from the home to commercial settings, emphasises Adam’s wide scope of work across design disciplines, from furniture and household innovation, to commercial and residential installations.

The collection is designed for NAU, the contemporary Australian brand designed by a collective of local designers – Adam Cornish, Gavin Harris, Adam Goodrum and Jack Flanagan. Described as ‘new by necessity’, NAU is the local design brand of Cult the leading purveyor of fine international design in Australia and New Zealand. NAU is inspired by the unique Australian landscape of extremes and the resourceful, innovative design culture that is born of this environment.
