Rubble Workshop’s Debut Hand-chiselled Concrete Light Sculptures.

Rubble Workshop is a modern stone-age Australian family business and lighting concept formed by a trio of creatives – (father) Max, (mother) Gillian and (daughter) Jerrie-Joy. Hailing from varied backgrounds in the film and arts industries, their designs are conceptually informed, using a playful and unrestricted imaginative process.

Conceiving their first table lamp collection as the answer to ‘What would Barney Rubble have in his house?’, the designs are influenced by monolithic symbolism, natural history and reminiscent of treasured items from antiquity.



Starting as a mindful creative output during COVID outbreak, the lamps take form at the intuitive hands of all three collaborators in various stages. Separated by states and border closures, the trio communicated virtually to develop the series over the year. What began as a way to stay connected creatively, grew organically into a business.



Creating solid and long-lasting sculptures, the designs serve as timeless, functional art with both a playful lightheartedness and fierce personality all rolled into one. Combining sculptural beauty with utility, each lamp has a biomorphic quality and takes on its own persona.

Dubbed Dusty, Goldie, Maria & Betty, the lamps are hand-made from aerated concrete – it’s structure similar to natural stone, with a heavy textured, pitted finish. Completed with linen cloth cords and hand-painted or natural empire line shades, the collection has an approachable price-point where the ideals of what makes an item luxury are attainable at a mid-range price tag.
