JON GOULDER X ALPHA60 for Melbourne Design Week 2026
Alpha60 presents Conversations by Jon Goulder and collaborators.
Jon Goulder is an Australian designer and maker known for sculptural furniture and objects. His work sits between art, craft and design, with a focus on material, process and the act of making.
Presented as part of Melbourne Design Week 2026, Alpha60’s Chapter House opens as a curated design showcase and cultural event space. The program brings together a series of collaborative furniture, lighting and design works.
Alpha60 is proud to collaborate in support of Conversations, a project shaped over time through an ongoing dialogue between Jon and Georgie and Alex Cleary.
Discover the exhibition at Chapter House.
14–24 May 2026
We’re excited to launch the limited edition Jon Goulder X Alpha60 Carry All Bag alongside the opening. Each bag features a water-formed leather patch inspired by the work designed and created for Melbourne Design Week 2026. Available in Black and Moss, and in very limited quantities.
