TIMBER Lachlan Peacock

Timber has been used throughout design. My chosen designer, Brodie Neil works with timber regularly and this has inspired me to also design in wood. The look of timber has a level of elegance to it, the material creates an atmosphere as the shapes and natural patterns within the wood allows for an appealing aesthetic. I have always had a strong attraction to wood more than metal or ceramics. Wood is warm and inviting, unlike metal or ceramics. The way that wood can be manipulated in the crafting process adds to the attractiveness of the material, Brodie’s “Remix” bench seat is a great example of a process that shows off the flexibility of wood.
