After completing a Bachelor of Arts (Industrial Design) from RMIT (1998), Simon and co-founder Celina Clarke established ISM Objects in 1990. For more than 25 years, ISM Objects has designed lighting and furniture products with a focus on technology, experimentation and a commitment to Australian manufacturing. They have retailed and supplied products for residential and commercial projects throughout Australia, New Zealand, the UAE, UK, USA and Asia, with a selection of recent local projects including Bendigo Hospital (Bendigo), Kathleen Syme Library (Melbourne), LinkedIn Martin Place (Sydney), Westpac Technology Centre Kogarah (Sydney) and Royal Children’s Hospital (Melbourne).Simon and Celina’s work is guided by the values of being authentic, ethical, collaborative and imaginative, as they create enduring and endearing products designed to bring a space to life. They are committed to sustainable and progressive thinking, playing with materials to create effects with light, and updating and designing products that incorporate the latest technology. With all main components manufactured in Australia, Simon and Celina are skilled in optimising the local production process to make things in economically and environmentally effective ways.
