Technical modified!- or not? It seems that the bulbs are connected to each other with additional bases,-or having the capability to screw into a bulb housing in 3 different ways?

The most beautiful design, in my opinion, has to be the shape of a woman’s body.

I could spend half my life decorating a woman’s body

Material: 60Watt bulbs, metal fly screen

A section of metal fly screen is shaped into the form of a bag. The top part of the bag is completed so the bulbs can’t slip through, yet the globe can still be changed.

What can I say? I think it brought me to Australia. After my first visit to Australia, I wanted to capture the red soil of the outback and use some treasures from within that soil.

When finished and placed in my office in Austria, it must have unleashed its “powers”.

It has been proven that the written word can help train our subconscious minds to achieve what we want.

Just want to let everybody know: it also works when you build something………..

Utilising off cuts from other projects, became the ‘Coco stool’ A quirky looking stool, which provides storage, and can be made to all colours…………..

Material: layered bendable plywood, stained rosewood veneer, black cow hide leather

Size: W 530 D 530 H 930mm

The sides of the stool appear to be running through the seat of the chair, but after first consideration you could also think the top and the bottom part ‘brace’ the seat together. The plywood seat extrudes 8mm either side and cuts completely through the sides of the chair.

Different versions could be build in a variety of finishes, designs or colours, all underlining the beautiful effect of the ergonomic shaped line, created from the overhanging plywood edge of the seat. Looking side on, a person in the chair really completes the picture. He becomes an extension of the chair, due to the visible edge of the seat.

Award winning furniture for Queensland’s best new design ‘Indesign 2007’

Size: H400mm diameter 290mm

Material: bendable plywood, art print on canvass, clear Estapol lacquer

Bend-able Plywood, rolled double into one overlapping piece which interlocks on itself, is the basis of this durable design. Looking at the locking mechanism invites us to contemplate the design and to realise the simplicity of its function. Humorous faces and gestures add to the appeal of this light, manoeuvrable and functional stool.

The functionality and light-heartedness of the seats design make it suitable for use in the soft furnishing market. This stool can be customized to meet individual preferences. For example, buyers could select personal or family photos, such as those of relatives, to be used for the seat.

Size: W 530 D 230 H 400

The finish/colours on the ’stool’ are only bound by your imagination.

A custom built lounge can easily transform almost any shaped area into a cosy corner. The foot stool has a centre piece that can be turned over, converting the piece into a coffee table. There is even a hidden drawer!

Material: MDF and Plywood, 2pac, leather upholstery

Size: W 550 D 700 H 950mm

Exploring the possibility to create a comfortable chair which could be used in two ways.

YIN DOWN becomes the bar/working stool

YANG DOWN becomes the TV/reading/relaxing chair

Size: W500 D700 H 950mm

Material: bendable plywood, 0.5mm mirror polished aluminium

The concept for this stool was based on a self set challenge of using two paper strips (24cm x 2cm) to design a scale model of a chair, then to choose a building material which would create an exciting feature.

The core of the stool is a triple layer of bendable plywood, measuring 2400mm x 200mm, overlayed with a mirror-finish, polished aluminium sheeting (0.5mm).

Hand bent, and following the ergonomic shape of the human body, the plywood strips become ‘one’ with the chair and invite the onlooker to explore its shape and form. At the same time, the mirror-finish draws attention to the surroundings, expressing them through the chair’s undulating shape and reflected colours of the immediate environment. 

Material: solid beech/  maple veneer board/ satin glass/ chrome metal bars

Size: W 1200 D 400 H 900mm

Size: W 1200 D 300 H 1100mm

Using metal bars to connect the shelves gives this book shelf a look of “open spaces”, even when filled up to its limit. Applying this design to a larger scale, could achieve an exciting wall decoration to accommodate your library.

Size: W 870 D 460 H 1950mm

Material: MDF 2pack, recycled timber

Recycled timber is used to visually ‘break up’ the white front. Placing the handles to mirror the round glass cut-out creates a nice feature.

Place it in your kitchen and use it as a pantry, or in your dining room to store your plates and cutlery…

Material: 18mm MDF/ 2pac, half bowl houses a low voltage light

Size: W 900 D 430 H 870mm

Size: W 820 D 430 H 1600mm

‘one off piece’

I was inspired to build this piece of furniture by a Strangler Fig Tree that I once saw enveloping a huge Pine tree on Fraser Island. The visual beauty which suggests a ‘coexistence’ between these two different types of trees distracts us from the obvious outcome - the death of the Pine Tree. Similarly, the black MDF board ‘strangles’ the Rosewood cabinet, and, as you look more closely other shapes are suggested.

Material: 18mm MDF 2pac, on castors

Size: W 900 D 430 H 900mm

Design: Egon Waltl

‘Black and white-always right’ This furniture was built according to the client’s own design, with two top drawers and two doors.

Material: 32mm MDF 2pac

Size: W 900 D 450 H 870mm

I wanted to capture the sand dunes in this piece of furniture. Every piece is hand built and unique, being lacquered directly onto raw MDF. ‘Dune’ sends out a feeling of needing to be touched and explored with your hands. The myth says…………….

Long ago, in ancient Egypt, there dwelt a beautiful princess. One day, in the search for water, she sent her bravest warriors to seek the truth behind the legend of a hidden oasis called Emerald Shell.

The warriors trekked across desolate sands, and after nine passing moons, they finally came upon the hidden oasis. The warriors returned with the news of their good fortune and the princess, fearful of her enemies, resolved that the location of Emerald Shell would forever remain secret.

The princess ordered no map be drawn and instead requested that a fine chest of drawers be constructed. The chest of drawers would be adorned with three tracks, only one of which would be the true path to Emerald Shell. Once the piece was finished, the princess destroyed the original map and, turning to her loyal warriors, said:

 “This piece shall never leave me, and where ever I travel it will always be kept in my bedroom”.

Material: cherry veneer board/aluminium / 2pac/ MDF 2pac legs

Size: W 950 D 430 H 900mm

Hand adorned with aluminium, it is reminiscent of the tales and times of knights. Modern legs support this vintage-style chest of drawers, like an ornamental base presenting an award. 

Size: W 950 D 460 H 870mm

Material: MDF 2pack, black coloured thick cowhide leather,

Drawer fronts and handles available in a variety of finishes.

Covered with a thick cowhide leather, this chest is decorated with chrome rivets. Many leather finishes and colours available. 

Size: W 1020 D 470 H 900mm

Material: Salvaged board from old kitchens, laundries and furniture etc, drawer fronts randomly selected out of free off cuts from cabinet factories around Brisbane, 6mm Acrylic glass, pin board inlay finished with Estapol floor lacquer.

It’s just a chest of drawers with no design?!

The idea is to make the new owner responsible for finishing this design with items which hold a sentimental value to the owner.

The chest is a low level design chest of drawers where the top, sides and the back are finished in acrylic glass creating a narrow display case that surrounds the piece. The drawer fronts are all finished in individual designs and colours, except for four randomly selected drawers which will initially be finished in white (these white drawers are to be personalised by the owner).

‘Start your collection of mementoes in the Memory box’. Imagine a personalised piece of furniture to store all the bits and pieces you’ve collected in your life which remind you of a special moment. They may include; an old photograph from school, the concert tickets from your favourite band, the unexpected birthday card from a special friend, the champagne cork from your anniversary, a piece of fabric from your long gone favourite denim jeans…and many things still to come.

The white drawer fronts are meant to be changed in time by the owner. The replacement draw fronts may be salvaged from old furniture which you inevitably, had to let go, or a renovation for example. Salvaged handles and knobs may also be incorporated in your memory box, to make it truly unique.

This is a piece which is set to become the ‘shrine’ of your memories, starting a collection of the ‘special moments in life’……….when do you start?
