About Object Density

Founded by Nicola Charlesworth and Kim Stanek, both graduates of Industrial Design from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Object Density produces objects, products and installations for the home and gallery space. Through examination of object typologies, materials and processes of the past and present, Object Density believes that a designed object can become ‘dense’; dense with the collected tacit knowledge of all those who take part in the process.
