Biography: Chelsea is a Master of Architecture graduate from the University of Western Australia, with a multidisciplinary practice spanning architecture, design, art and making. Her work is driven by a curiosity for materiality, sustainable practice and considered approaches to design and fabrication. As she develops her professional experience across the industry, Chelsea continues to explore opportunities that connect creative thinking with practical outcomes. Her interests extend beyond traditional architectural practice, embracing experimentation, craftsmanship and the development of thoughtful, environmentally conscious work.
Oe explores the balance between sustainable design practice, materiality, and the growing push toward a circular mindset across fashion and design. The project consists of portable indoor planters crafted from recycled timber supplied by Crafted Hardwoods, an Australian company creating pathways for low-grade timber and waste from the lumber industry to be transformed into long-lasting applications.
Designed by Chelsea, a recent Master of Architecture graduate from the University of Western Australia, Oe reflects her passion for sustainable living and environmentally conscious design. The planters eliminate harsh polymers and chemical-based adhesives commonly used in woodworking, instead drawing on the precision of traditional Japanese joinery techniques.
