He moved to New Zealand in 1983 and obtained a Masters in Fine Arts, First Class Honours Sculpture from the University of Auckland in 1993/4, receiving the Fowlds Memorial Prize for pre-eminent Fine Arts Student at Elam.
Lyall's collaboration with Dilana resulted in a playful commemoration of the model construction system ‘Meccano’ invented in 1898 by a Brit.
Classic and contemporary design sit comfortably together in ‘Good Vintage’, a styled feature by Sara Black for HOME magazine. We were delighted to contribute pieces from Good Form and love how Sara’s arrangements give each object room to be appreciated.
