Credenzas

Leading furniture makers serve up their credentials in a smorgasbord of contemporary credenza design. Derived from credentia, a Medieval Latin term for the practice of food and drink tasting by servants to check for poison, the word became synonymous with the fashionable piece of 19th century dining room furniture. Its contemporary resurgence shows how taste and style have evolved. No longer furniture from which to serve imperious lords of pernickety VIPs, today’s credenza is an elegant adaptable form, from which to serve canapés and retrieve wines as easily as to access and display the latest screens of advanced technology. |

Making Waves
10 September - 17 October 2010
Peter Walker
If any human artefact can claim to provide a direct sensory interface with the elemental kinetic energy of our planet it is the surfboard. Meticulously crafted in selected timbers, Walker’s sculptural and beautifully hand-made surfboards use traditional furniture and boat building techniques whilst being informed by aerodynamic technology. This eco-design integrated with craft skill to create stunning iconic sculptural forms, some selectively further decorated by chosen artists. A significant showcase of ideas: a balanced resolution of sport, energy, ecology and craft.
