Owen Foale, Salvaged Timber Furniture (Studio Furniture 2018)

What started as an endeavour to wrangle some bookshelves from a flooded gum in a pile of flood debris has 25 years on evolved into endlessly unique marriages between whatever has come to hand and clients’ desired outcome. Owen operates on a strictly salvage basis, though given the unique character of Brisbane structures and the profoundly appealing qualities of the timbers on offer this is by no means a handicap. Whether from demolition, storm salvage or suburban lopping, every piece ends up with a unique and mostly storied provenance. As for design….whatever it takes!
