The Pankalangu Armchair is inspired by one of three groups of creatures whom frequent Western Arrernte country. Pankalangu is a territorial being that lives in the scrub and is completely camouflaged in the desert and bush. Pankalangu can only move with the rain, and is made visible when the water droplets that falls over his body are caught by the light, defining his form.

The underside of the Pankalangu Arm Chair is lined with scales made from copper. Wallaby fur obscures the scales in its pile, until the light catches them. The comfortable tub style seat of the Pankalangu Arm Chair is upholstered in French leather and the legs of the chair are inspired by the Oepidoda Caerulescens moth native to Australia.

Prior to colonisation Australia was imagined, in the northern hemisphere, as a vast southern landmass and little else was factually known. Fabulous creatures, of incredible proportions and improbable anatomy, filled the void of knowledge. Fear of these creatures was legitimised when early British colonists started to learn of the frightful monsters of Aboriginal folklore. This fear of what lurked in the unknown fathoms of Australian bush land soon became a point of cultural confluence for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
