Predicaments of Furniture Design
Feature
Robert Nelson

Small wonder that painting and installation attracts our writers more than furniture, when discourse about tables and chairs is confined to the rehearsal of so many grim platitudes.

The arts community of Australia has weathered the recession extremely well.
