Two exhibitions, two pieces, one design, one desig

Two exhibitions, two pieces, one design, one designer, two manufacturing processes. SWA Accredited Member @rolfbarfoed created these two pieces for consecutive SWA Exhibitions, the smaller at last years Edge Exhibition held at Sturt Gallery & the larger holds court at our current exhibition ‘Furniture Defines Home’ . Both pieces subscribe to the same design aesthetic, both executed to the same flawless standard we’ve come to expect from Rolf. But each piece is constructed using differing techniques. There’s always a multitude of doing every operation in woodworking, if you don’t try them all you won’t know which works best for you 😉 You can check out some build pics if you head over to his account and scroll 🙂

Our Furniture Defines Home exhibition is currently live @bwoodworks .

Another new Accredited Member to join the ranks, G

Another new Accredited Member to join the ranks, Gray Hawk, from South Australia. Stunning designs and craftsmanship underpin Gray Hawks catalogue of works.

South Australian-based Gray Hawk is renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and the great artistry in his bespoke designs. His distinct aesthetic is informed by an Art Deco sensibility that is opulent in form and meticulous in detail. Richly hued timbers, such as Macassar Ebony and Red gum, lend each of his pieces a rich materiality, while the incorporation of glass, stainless steel and bronze adds visual dynamism.
“I spent time with a team of blacksmiths and coach builders and learnt the skills of a wheelwright. While preserving the knowledge and art form, this experience now informs my current design and construction methodology.”
Quality of construction, detail, careful consideration and choice of material are Gray’s main concerns to create long lasting furniture and art pieces.

A big welcome from Studio Woodworkers Australia @grayhawkdesign 🙏🙏🙏

We would love to congratulate Benjamin Reddan on becoming an accredited member of Studio Woodworking Australia. We pride ourselves on celebrating craftsmanship, and Benjamin’s work fits in perfectly.

Benjamin Reddan is a cabinet furniture designer and maker, who works from his private studio, located in the Yarra Valley. He creates both unique bespoke and batch run pieces that are sold across Melbourne and interstate. Benjamin completed studies in Furniture Design at RMIT in 2009, and followed this by completing an intensive cabinet furniture making apprenticeship from 2010-2014. Since then, has been running his own furniture design and fabrication business, trading under the name “Soul of Bespoke”. Benjamin prides himself on his attention to detail, which has stemmed from his philosophy that well-made woodwork is an art form with a soul, and every aspect of a piece, whether it’s a corner block, a hinge, or inlay, must be treated with respect.

Beautiful work Benjamin, fantastic to have you on board at SWA.
