Design + Wood 2009 features the work of established and emerging designer/makers who focus on contemporary design while retaining the tradition of workshop-based production. It showcases the beauty and diversity of Australian native timbers and is a rare opportunity to view handcrafted studio furniture seldom exhibited outside specialist and studio galleries.
Each piece captures the uniqueness of the material together with the spirit of the maker, both in concept and dedication to craftsmanship — something not possible in larger scale production. The exhibitors are Richard Crosland, Ian Factor, John Gallagher, Tracy Gumm, Tony Kenway, John Madden (in collaboration with Angus McDonald), David McLaren, Gino Monteleone, Nick Statham and Warwick Wright. The makers will be available to discuss their work and answer questions about commissions.
Design + Wood 2009 is presented by the Woodworkers Association of NSW Inc. in conjunction with Forests NSW.
