Please join us between 14-24 May at HAVN to launch the Stanley collection in collaboration with Pendleton. The exhibition presents a new collaboration between Dowel Jones and Pendleton, a partnership that brings together contemporary Australian design and more than 100 years of American textile production. 

Pendleton’s iconic, historically grounded textiles are repurposed as upholstery fabrics, while Dowel Jones continues its exploration of collaboration with textile mills and craft.
