Project Description

Waste not, want not

Task
Design and make a 12 seat meeting table for Mylor Primary School.

Worth Noting
The existing meeting table had a long history at the school after being donated many years ago by the Warrawong Sanctuary Café. Often commented on by parents and visitors, preserving elements of the old table was important criterion of the brief.

We stripped the polyurethane from the old table, recovered what we could of the timber slab top and legs, then featured this timber through the centre of the new table. To complete the top, recycled jarrah from a demolished warehouse was used. The leg structure continued the school history theme, as we utilised the posts and rails salvaged from the old school fence which was replaced a few years earlier.
