Corbet
Sydney-based industrial designer Ashley Corbett-Smith approaches play as both art form and invitation, a philosophy that culminated in the founding of Corbet. With an eye for proportion and a respect for material honesty, he reinterprets classic games through a contemporary lens, transforming them into sculptural centerpieces that command attention long after the last move. Each piece is designed and finished by hand in Sydney, where brass, onyx, quartz and fine timbers are shaped into handcrafted wooden games that celebrate craft, materiality and the quiet joy of interaction.
