    State Library Victoria | Make Believe – Encounte State Library Victoria | Make Believe – Encounters with Misinformation ~ Synthesis is proud to share our work recently completed for Make Believe, an exhibition exploring how human choices, psychology and biases contribute to the spread of misinformation.

As principal builder, Synthesis was responsible for the full scope of works, including the de-installation of the previous exhibition-built form, resolution of build methodology, production design, building permit documentation & compliance, engineering coordination, off-site fabrication, delivery, and final installation.

The exhibition, designed by Studio Peter King, required Synthesis to deliver a range of bespoke joinery and built-form elements including:

✳️ A 6m wide x  3.6m high mirror wall at the rear of the gallery.

✳️ Custom-designed seating, incorporating a reproduction of the heritage column skirting within the Keith Murdoch Gallery, featuring highly detailed upholstery in a combination of suede and custom-printed fabrics.

✳️ An overhead space frame spanning the full width and length of the gallery, housing both exhibition lighting and power infrastructure for integrated screens — an essential component of the exhibition’s immersive environment.

✳️ Temporary partition walls to create four distinct rooms within the gallery, each representing a key thematic element of the exhibition.

✳️ Projector rails and AV support joinery.

All works were successfully delivered and installed within the heritage-listed Keith Murdoch Gallery without disruption to the State Library’s daily operations or visitor experience.

Thanks to the SLV exhibition team for the opportunity to help bring the Make Believe exhibition to life.

Make Believe is a free exhibition, open daily until 26 January 2026

    Flashback Friday: Curved, carved, and complex ~ Ev Flashback Friday: Curved, carved, and complex ~ Every project leaves lasting memories and enables us to deliver better outcomes for future projects.  The project pictured here was a hand sculptured relief panel installed into a new cinema development in Richmond, Victoria, in the early 2000s. 

Today, 25 years later, the design, development, templating, carving, coating, and polishing techniques used in this project remain relevant and are still utilised in our processes. This project presented unique challenges, especially with the intricate curves that needed to align perfectly with the joinery, ceiling, and wall contours. To address this, we developed an innovative templating method, which we incorporated into early 3D CAD/CAM modelling systems. This approach continues to be a vital part of our work, ensuring that we can achieve seamless integration between new and existing complex curved contours.

The final result was an installation that appeared as a single, flawless piece of polished brass.

With each project comes experience and knowledge, we learn about new materials, create new production methods, and work out how to solve problems we didn’t even know we had. As we enter our 37th year in operation, we take pride in the thousands of projects we've successfully completed.

    Melbourne Holocaust Museum – Underground: The Hi Melbourne Holocaust Museum – Underground: The Hidden Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto ~ Synthesis recently had the privilege of completing the build for Underground, an exhibition of rare artefacts from the hidden archive of the Warsaw Ghetto, on display for the first time outside of Europe.

The Synthesis scope of work encompassed the off-site production of all joinery, including a suite of handcrafted solid timber-framed, free-standing display furniture and forms meticulously assembled without any visible fixings. Once the joinery frames were installed, they were painted and wrapped in fabric. Custom showcases and graphics by Synthesis were then fixed to the joinery, completing the installation of built form.  Additionally, lightboxes, free-standing showcases, and display walls were designed, manufactured, and installed by Synthesis  to support and complement the exhibition story.

Thank you to the MHM exhibition team for entrusting Synthesis to help bring the exhibition to fruition.

The exhibition is currently on display until 30 March 2025. 

For a full list of exhibition credits and further information, please see https://mhm.org.au/underground/

    Science Gallery Melbourne | SCI-FI: Mythologies Tr Science Gallery Melbourne | SCI-FI: Mythologies Transformed offers fresh insights on science fiction, a genre built on envisioning alternative futures and imaginary realms. The lines connecting science fiction with ancient philosophy and mythologie s are brought to light through the work of Asian and First Nations women artists and collectives.

The Synthesis team was contracted to complete the built form scope for the SCI-FI: Mythologies Transformed exhibition including design and development of the engineered 7.5m x 7.5m floor structure and elements to support the Red Silk of Fate installation. Custom LED lighting baffles were created for use throughout the exhibition in addition to semi-circular plinth joinery, a custom seating and display library fixture for the reading zone (complete with old school fat back TV and DVD player) and freestanding, internally illuminated plinths and showcases.  The exhibition built form also included many re-purposed elements of joinery, seating and tables from previous Synthesis exhibition builds and installations at SGM. 

Thanks once again to the Science Gallery Project Team and Curators for entrusting Synthesis with helping to bring the Sci-Fi exhibition to life. 

The exhibition reopens to the public from 19 Feb 2025.

    Flashback Friday: Christmas by Synthesis at Parkmo Flashback Friday: Christmas by Synthesis at Parkmore Shopping Centre 1989 ~ 35 years ago, the Synthesis team were hard at work creating what would become a truly memorable Christmas installation.

Centred around a 100-year-old carousel, beautifully restored & refurbished by the team at Wittingslow Amusements, the Santa setting at Parkmore Shopping Centre came alive to the delight of young and old.  The amazing sight of the carousel turning to the sound of Christmas carols, surrounded by sparkling white, silver, and pastel decorations (it was 1989!!) made it a Christmas installation with a difference and drew customers from far and wide.

The set design and supporting marketing campaigns went on to win many awards.
