Amelia’s design praxis began with the study of Architecture, during which she developed a profound interest in design at the intersection of architecture, interiors and furniture. Following a number of years working in scenography within the luxury sector, in 2021 she exhibited her very first, self-initiated furniture piece with the Max Radford Gallery. She has since gone on to produce a small collection of works that have been exhibited from London to Barcelona, Brussels and Los Angeles.
Subverting traditional furniture categories to interrogate the peculiarity of the ways in which people inhabit domestic spaces, Amelia’s works are informed by her deep admiration for the mid-century modern design movement and its polymathic protagonists. Though defined by an understated visual language, essential material palette — centred around her preferred use of stainless steel —, and enduring commitment to the architectural theory of material honesty, her works are titled with tongue-in-cheek, 20th century literary references in a nod to their subtle wit.
