Splinter

Griffith graduates Natalie Haskell, Kaecee Fitzgerald and Natasha Dennis joined forces with Industrial Design Program Director Dr Sam Canning to create the space they’ve called Splinter, which will serve as a launchpad for emerging industrial designers on the Gold Coast. We wanted to create a space that supported local and emerging designers on the Gold Coast.
Splinter is a not-for-profit exhibition space and shop, nestled on Tamborine Mountain’s Eagle Heights Rd, and displays wares created by 10 Griffith graduates including furniture by Evan Jurd.
There are products crafted by Griffith graduates which include lighting and ceramics, to jewellery and 3D printed items on display.
Each item has an interactive experience, with voice recordings from each designer explaining their creative process and the meaning behind it.
It’s so important to have community support for emerging designers and Splinter is the perfect space to create and display our work.
