Summary

Australian designer Georgina Davies has created a furniture collection called 'Undressed' that showcases MDF (medium-density fibreboard) in its raw, unfinished state. The collection challenges conventional uses of MDF, which is typically covered or painted over in furniture construction. Davies demonstrates how the engineered wood can evoke 'quiet luxury' and reveal 'unexpected warmth and richness' when left exposed. The linear furnishings highlight the material's natural qualities and challenge perceptions of this basic building material.
