First of all! I’m not a photographer so excuse these photo’s, the lighting was near nothing and this bench is just over three metres long so it was hard to capture it. That being said, this was one of the more fun projects… It came about through my favourite process of creation, organic design. “We need a dressing room table. These are the materials we have.” Its not necessarily about how beautiful it is but, we need something to do the job, that we don’t need to replace for a long time (ever). To me this simplicity gives a project its beauty. So i went into the “cage” that Metro Arts has out the back and found three awesome bits of Silky Oak for the bench top, some random 2X4 framing pine left over from something or other, and some old Iron Bark floor support beams. The basis for an epic depression era style chunky table was born.
