Each season Saxony invites an Australian artists to produce works that will be exhibited outside their Melbourne Central store.
This seasons exhibit is the works of exciting paper sculptor, Benja Harney, a Sydney based graphic designer, who is rapidly creating a niche in his craft. Benja was inspired by the Saxony Spring Summer ‘10 theme from philosopher Carl Jung, “In spite of its function as a reservoir for human darkness, or perhaps because of this, the shadow is the seat of creativity.”
The 33 year-old has created a paper pop-up book for Harper’s BAZAAR as well as pairs of paper wings for the Hermes storefront (which were all made from individually cut feathers! ).
The work outside Saxony was created on site at Melbourne Central.

How long have you been at AMPR? Just over a year… how time flies!
Best bit of your job? I get to work in all three departments at AMPR which has been a fantastic learning experience. No two days are ever the same and I get to work with everything from kids clothes to fashion accessories as well as on exciting events such as LMFF.
My last meal would be… Gnocci made by my Nonna followed by the chocolate and salted caramel ice-cream sandwich from Cutler & Co
I can’t live without… coffee, my iphone and Burt’s Bees moisturiser
One thing I want to do before I die is… Run a full marathon. Liv (also from AMPR) and I are currently training for the Half Melbourne Marathon and I’m not even sure we’ll make it through this!
Biggest fashion faux pas… I was going to say double denim or socks and sandals…. but both of these are now fashionable! I’m definitely not a fan of hair scrunchies.
Favourite Melbourne restaurant … Cutler & Co- I’m dying to go back!
Who is your idol? DELTA GOODREM – I loved her at the Forever New Spring Launch party!!!
Who’s the funniest at AMPR? I think that changes every day! There is always someone here to either laugh with or laugh at!
Favourite holiday destination? Who doesn’t love New York in summer?! I had an amazing holiday there recently with my Mum and friends.
