The Materials

  • Bush Fire Collection

    Rising from the ashes.

    Representing our resilience.

    The Bushfire Collection honours the ecosystems affected by bush fires.

    Our area was particularly impacted in 2019-2020.

  • Timber Slabs

    100% salvaged and rescued logs.

    Timber Slabs Termeil is a family-run business operating for over 30 years.

    The farm sources its timber mainly from urban tree removals, rescues fallen and condemned dangerous trees, including native and exotic species

  • Collecting & Scavenging

    Rescued from decay and given a second life.

    Materials are collected from old logging sites, beauty found in the waste.

 The Style

  • Natures Guide

    Mother Nature creates beautiful forms. Inspiration is provided from the raw wood to glorify its features.
    When working with natural forms, maintaining a concept of balance is crucial to ensure that each component compliments others and gives strength to the piece as a whole.

  • Big Statement

    Grand statement pieces are bold, weighty and speak for themselves!

    Inspired by giant raw slabs, so striking, they are designed to be glorified in sheer size.

    In the same way that big trees are a commanding presence in the forest, these profound pieces have the same effect in your home.

  • Australiana

    Built from the bush.

    Representing the Australian landscape is the sturdy simplicity of traditional farmhouse furniture and homewares. From kitchen boards to bench seats, and hat racks to hanging shelves, these pieces combine features from the quintessential Australian bush abode.

The Traditional Custodians

First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the Murramarang Peoples of the Yuin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of this land, and I pay my respects to Elders past, present, and emerging. 

I would also like to extend my respect to all Aboriginal communities who have significant connections to this area, the place I call home. 

I celebrate the stories, culture, and traditions that belong to this land, that enable me and my community to work and live in greater harmony with it.

 

Truly Timber History

Townships of Termeil, Kioloa, and Bawley Point were initially driven by the booming timber industry, established around 1882. In 1912, Kioloa’s sawmill was the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.

Timber was transported from Termeil via a horse-drawn tram line. The timber was then loaded onto ships from the Gantry at Bawley Point.

Although the Gantry hasn’t seen a ship for decades, it is by no means forgotten. On sunny afternoons, kids launch themselves into the crystal clear waters of the bay. Meanwhile, Peter Davidson’s Timber Yard is one of the few remaining mills around and is well-known for its sustainable approach to salvaging and re-purposing disregarded trees.
