F!NK was established by Robert Foster in 1993 to manufacture contemporary and innovative objects. This was a natural progression from his highly distinctive and acclaimed exhibition work. With over nineteen years experience in the arts and design fields, Foster's work may be found in collections in most of Australia's major arts institutions. Having gained an international reputation as a spirited and distinctive Australian design company.
Every object in the F!NK range has its own story of development and usually involves some form of technical and aesthetic innovation. Each product has its own comical persona, reinforcing the quirky and unique nature of its distinctive design. Particular attention is given to the functionality, performance and the quality of making and finishing. Our vision has been to produce innovative objects that challenge other utilitarian objects.
F!NK products are designed by Australian artists and most of the manufacturing processes occur in the F!NK studio. Each object is individually hand finished which results in an object embedded with its own unique charecteristics—more like a piece of art.
Of particular importance to F!NK is the notion of 'integrity towards the industry'. F!NK has developed many of its own production processes to ensure that design aesthetics are not compromised by limited production techniques. Typically research an development takes between one and four years before a product can be launched onto teh market.
The F!NK range of well designed and articulated objects is particularly attractive to the discerning market that wants something extaordinary.
