Daniel Dove is a Scottish born, Sydney based functional artist and sculptor whose work blurs the line between art and interior design. Rooted in a brutalist aesthetic, his creations embody hard lines, raw presence, and an architectural sense of weight and dominance. Working primarily in metal, each piece is forged with permanence and structure in mind, often embedding handpicked quartz and crystals that refract light and energy against their industrial bases. His practice spans brutalist lighting, suspended sculptures, and decorative interior objects — works that serve as both functional design and commanding sculptural statements.

Dove’s work transforms interiors into sculptural environments where illumination and form are never secondary. His brutalist crystal lighting challenges the notion of décor, acting instead as a protagonist within the space — elemental, commanding, and alive. Material honesty defines his approach, embracing the collision between industry and nature, hardness and fragility. His works are at once brutal and luminous, machines for light that evoke both ancient structures and futuristic artifacts.

With each piece, Dove dismantles the divide between sculpture and design, creating environments charged with tension and energy. Suspended brutalist sculptures hang like raw architecture in midair — industrial relics defying gravity and transforming ceilings into sites of rebellion. Uncompromising and magnetic, Dove’s works do not simply inhabit interiors; they command them, redefining the dialogue between object, art, and environment.
