O R C H A R D D E S I G N | ART and ARCHITECTURE
| Orchard Design is a contemporary art and design studio based in Melbourne, Australia with a focus on the integration between Art and Architecture. Owner and artist Anthony Russo started his professional life in 1987 when he founded Orchard Studio along with fellow artist Mark Weichard. Over a 20-year period Orchard Studio produced a considerable amount of significant work ranging from major public sculptures to contemporary liturgical design. Orchard Design is interested in the relationship between three-dimensional form and materiality. We have developed a fascination in regards to the intersection of contemporary design, architectural form and sculptural intent. The combination of interests and abilities within the studio is seen as a natural response to the diversity of the contemporary cultural landscape, both local and international. |
With two of Anthony's sons - Nick (Architect) and Karl (Landscape Architect) - coming on board in recent years, Orchard Design has expanded as a studio and is able to take on a wide range of projects. Embracing an open attitude to creative thinking and practice has lead us to seek experience across numerous disciplines. These include; > exhibition art > one off sculpture commissions > site specific installations within an architectural environment > large scale outdoor public sculpture projects > architectural projects > master planning The consistent theme within the life of the studio has been creativity viewed as the connector between the world of concepts and the world of physical reality. |
