The elegant concentric shape of the “Trinity” series draws inspiration from the sinuous spiral structure of the shell of the “Nautilus” mollusc: every year another chambre is added to its shell, producing a beautiful, durable and lightweight spiral.

Adam Cornish’s work is born of simple observational based design. Just like animals and plants; products need to evolve and adapt to better suit the continually changing environment. Adam studied Industrial Design at the University of Technology Sydney and more recently, completed a degree in Furniture Design at Royal Melbourne's Institute of Technology, where Adam regularly lectures. The scope of Adam's work includes an impressive range of design disciplines, including furniture and household innovation, as well as complex commercial and residential installations.

Nautilus is a mollusk from the cephalopod family. Considered extinct based on the discovery of fossils dating back to the Paleozoic Era, only in 1829 was it observed alive for the first time, and therefore classified as a living fossil. Its shell, imported through trade with the East Indies, was well known and used in jewellery as early as the seventeenth century. The shell’s highly characteristic structure was the inspiration for the “Trinity” Bowl: every year another chambre is added to its shell, producing a beautiful, durable and lightweight spiral. The young Australian designer’s intent was to blend the beauty of a natural structure with modern manufacturing processes.
