This photo shows the coffee table in a natural waxed finish. It weighs only 6 kilograms, yet is strong enough for myself to lie down on it, and I weigh in at 75 kilograms. The photo does not show the complex and beautiful integrated chassis that is the support for the table. Being constructed in the formation of the Union Jack, and from light-weight plywood, it supports all areas of the table surface and the legs.

The tables are available in the waxed finish with a selection of grain patterns to choose from. The featured table has a birds eye pine grain that is rare and beautiful. Other wood grains include a flame look or common multicolour pine. The grains can be enhanced by a limited selection of stains, from white to black, or they can be subdued by a painting process available in any colour.

Featured in this photo is the dining table set from my latest range of tables that i have developed. The range is inspired by jetliners and retro prototype cars from the 1970s. They are constructed to be of a minimum weight, yet the tables are strong enough to support myself when i sit on them. The tables are available in a selection of finishes and can be made to any size.

October

This month I will show a preview of my work that was included in a recent photo shoot. It is for the soon to be published catalogue of the Graduate show at Unitec. These are not the final images in the catalogue, or the photos of the furniture that will be appearing in the show. But they are a teaser for what will be comming.

September

The exhibition was a big success. The book that I created, that featured in last month's post, was well received. For September, I will be working with plywood in creating tables that are a synthesis of various elements. These elements include aerodynamics, 70s automobile prototypes, jetliners and architecture. So it can be said that I am creating hybird furniture and objects.

August

The Pop-up books were a fun and time consuming experience. I have produced a large book for a travelling exhibition that will soon be at Kfm in K road in Auckland. It will be joined by more in this series, as I am going to extend that project into a new project i am currently starting. I will be developing furniture based on these books.

Ideas and forming and i will be posting more images shortly.
