The old Onkaparinga Woollen Mill closed in the early 1990s.

Wood & Furniture

woodART Furniture Designer & Maker

Three decades in the industry — apprentice cabinetmaker in 1995, diploma in furniture design by 2004 — gives the sole maker behind this Old Reynella studio an unusually complete understanding of wood. Every piece is solid timber, custom-designed, built by hand. The pitch is simple: one commission, one piece, no repeats.
