Marlo & Martyn

FUTUREOBJEKT

Martyn Thompson is an Australian-born photographer, textile designer, creative director, and collector whose multidisciplinary practice spans photography, interiors, textiles, and object design. Renowned for his richly layered aesthetic and distinctive use of colour, pattern, and narrative, Thompson’s work has been exhibited and published internationally, establishing him as a singular voice within contemporary design.

Marlo Lyda is a designer-maker, curator, and educator based on Gadigal Country, Sydney. A graduate of Design Academy Eindhoven, her practice is guided by hands-on material experimentation, producing sculptural yet functional furniture, lighting, and objects from unconventional resources. Her work reframes discarded materials – marble offcuts, invasive timbers, salvaged metals, and textiles – revealing the stories embedded in what already exists and celebrating material irregularity as creative potential.
