The Industrial Design of Clement Meadmore celebrates the legacy of Clement Meadmore, a pivotal figure in Australian modernist design and sculpture during the twentieth century. Known for his innovative use of industrial materials such as steel rod, cotton cord, glass, and plywood, Meadmore crafted functional and durable objects that embodied elegance and inventiveness.

This publication showcases Meadmore's iconic chairs, tables, and lighting pieces from the 1950s and early 1960s. These designs not only reflect Meadmore's distinctive approach to industrial design but also highlight his influence on post-war Australian aesthetics. His creations were integral to contemporary homes designed by renowned architects like Robin Boyd, Neil Clerehan, and Peter McIntyre, shaping a new identity in Australian design.

Featuring thirty individual designs meticulously illustrated in the publication, this collection underscores Meadmore's singular design language and its enduring significance within the context of mid-century modernism.

Accompanied by an insightful essay by Peter Atkins and Dana Harris, the publication delves into Meadmore's design practice, providing expert commentary on the evolution and impact of his work.
