BMDO

Founded by Melbourne-based Fletcher Barns and LA-based James L. Marshall in 2018, BMDO combines their industrial design and fine art backgrounds in furniture and objects that blend traditional and futuristic processes, materials, and aesthetics. They describe their first solo exhibition, High Hopes, as “a series of DMs, missed calls, texts, and just enough hemispherical timezone cross-over” — verbiage that could describe a tempestuous relationship as much as a design collection. And the pieces on show display all of the hints of a Romanticism resurgence we’ve previously spied.
