Nathan White
Nathan White is a landscape designer in Sydney’s Eastern suburbs, having recently delved into sculpture in his spare time. White began by chiseling remnant off cuts of various stones from job sites to make sculptures and one-off functional pieces. ‘IDLES’ is Nathan's first official collection of functional sculptures made from the lightweight, recyclable material hebel. Each piece is hand carved and intricately designed paying homage to Greek architecture, ancient relics and the broader Mediterranean - ‘IDLES’ look like something one could find on a far-away island somewhere in Europe.
