Maryam Moghadam is a Naarm based furniture designer and maker specialising in work that evokes a sense of play. Experimentation and the drive to push the boundaries of design innovation are at the core of her practice, where she blends the creative freedom of art-making and the pragmatism of industrial design. A graduate of Industrial Design (Honours) completed at the University of Technology Sydney (2021), Maryam is motivated by the recognition that furniture design can be a practice with design goals beyond aesthetics and function. She believes that the discipline can be a vehicle provoking questions about the current status quo and materialising solutions through the medium of functional furniture
