What a joy to share with the world the newest project for “The musical bench” is a piece that will exist in continuous dialogue with the grand piano. This space invites everyone to practice using this beautiful instrument. The bench was made with 100% repurposed timber, including red gum, from structural posts that came down when the fence was replaced. The original notches can be seen in the legs, where black resin filled them for best performance. This piece is also a love letter to the “piano project” with a wonderful educational and social mission, as well as that brings the most exquisite live music to the community in Brunswick. Want to acknowledge sources of inspiration: Charlotte Perriand (modern design legend), Miguel Arroyo (Venezuelan designer) and the music from Vaughan Williams, “The Lark Ascending”. Special thanks to for his collaboration and to for allowing me to use their workshop. Also big thanks to for their continuous support for so many creatives that can access a space to make. Hope this bench brings warmth and spirit to this space. As always, thanks to Georgie for being the best (and patient) client! 🙏💚
