Part of The Things We Keep, a photographic exhibition presented at The Front Room Gallery for Melbourne Design Week 2026.
Each artwork began with a personal object belonging to a creative, collector, designer, artist, or maker from across Australia. These objects were then handed to photographers, not simply to be documented, but interpreted - transforming private possessions into shared artworks shaped by memory, atmosphere, and emotional response.
Presented as a limited edition of 20, each A3 artwork is printed in Melbourne on fine art cotton rag paper as part of an exclusive companion release available through The Hub General Store. Artwork printing leadtime up to 1 week.
Photographer: Mish Dutkova
Creative / Collector: Sandra Foti
53/62. This is a simple table prototype my son designed from three pieces of plywood, made to slot together without glue. I was struck by its simplicity and the clarity of thought behind it. He has a way of stripping things back until only what is essential remains. I often talk through business challenges with him because his thinking feels unburdened and instinctive. He cuts through the noise quickly, often finding the simplest solution. There is something refreshing about a younger mind that has not yet collected all the hesitation and overthinking that adulthood can bring. I saved the table from the bin, and it now sits on my desk among my favourite things.
