Fluff Corp. Jia Jia Chen & Claire Lehmann

Established in 2017, Fluff Corp began curating immersive catering events and soon combined their expertise in an object based practice focussing on lighting design.

Our individual practises can be found here Jia Jia Chen and Claire Lehmann.

Here is some press about our work.

All ceramics are hand made, glazed and fired in our Coburg studio, all other lighting components are assembled by local trades and wired locally to Australian standards. Fluff Corp continues to grow, guided by a mutual interest in problem solving and experimentation.

Jia Jia Chen

Jia Jia works across art, design and food. Born in China and raised in Australia, her practice draws on both Eastern and Western aesthetics, merging and reinterpreting iconic symbols into new and personal expressions while reflecting on the complex histories of cultural and economic exchange.

She approaches making as a process of translating conscious and unconscious ideas, transforming the internal into the external and the physical into the metaphysical. Through material experimentation and cross-disciplinary collaboration, she explores the possibilities that emerge when different creative practices intersect. Frequently collaborating with practitioners across a range of fields, Jia Jia seeks to expand the potential for innovative artistic outcomes that transcend traditional industry boundaries.

Chen graduated Master’s of Contemporary Art at VCA and was the recipient of the Art150 Fellowship. She has collaborated with Speak Percussion for Assembly Operation, Sophia Brous for Supersense ‘Festival of the Ecstatic’ and was commissioned by the City of Melbourne for a show at City Gallery called ‘Dream Machine’, the work from that show was acquired into their permanent collection.

Claire Lehmann

Claire Lehmann (Studio Lehmann and Fluff Corp.) is a Melbourne/Naarm based ceramic artist whose practice includes object design, sculpture, and lighting. Her ceramics reflect an interest in materiality, light and texture, often merging industrial design with delicate, domestic forms. Repeated patterns and motifs are a prominent feature throughout her work which is interested in challenging the boundaries and assumptions around materiality in object design.

Claire has an Arts Degree from Melbourne University with an Art History major. She then studied Electronic Design and Interactive Media (EDIM) at Victoria University and then a Diploma of Ceramics at Holmesglen, TAFE.

Since graduating in ceramics in 2017, she has exhibited at Craft Victoria, Melbourne Design Week, Design Tasmania, Footscray Community Arts, Project 8 and completed a residency at the European Keramic WorkCentre (EKWC) in The Netherlands.
