Ivan Ershov, Vanata Joinery (Studio Furniture 2018)

I started my career in woodworking more than five years ago helping out on a project in a small family owned joinery in St Petersburg, Russia while studying economics at university. Gradually woodcraft has taken all my free time and become my passion, thus after graduation I have become professional cabinetmaker specialising in high-end furniture. Recently I relocated to Sydney, where I spend most of the day creating custom joinery at work, and crafting furniture of my own design during free time at home. I do not have particular style yet and try to experiment with various materials and forms, like ceramic mosaic tabletops or playing with built-in LED lights. For this exhibition I’d like to present the first “aussie” product of my own, a bedside table for laptop with hidden compartments for cables. Instagram @vana_ta #vanatajoinery
