Rhys’ practice provides a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to design and collaboration.

Rhys studied wood furniture at the ANU School of Art in Canberra, and completed a Master of Architecture at the University of Melbourne. He has a passion for sharing his knowledge and discoveries and has extensive experience teaching furniture making and design across multiple woodworking schools and workshops in Australia and overseas.

Through his work, Rhys explores the interrelationship between theory and practice, hand and machine, and society and self. He has a fascination with timber chairs and woven surfaces, reflected in his practice as a continued exploration of de novo organic forms and weaving techniques.

He currently works in a Sydney-based architecture firm, is a member of Splinter Workshop, and teaches at Chisel & Dowel Woodworking School.
