Three decades of furniture making brings with it a depth of experience and knowledge, and it is these attributes, combined with his love for pure design that makes David Emery - Furniture Maker one of Australia’s finest exponents of timeless contemporary furniture.
Visual lightness is key to his design, and it is a quality that is evident in all of David’s pieces. Whilst the sensitive use of timber is a constant in his work, it is the combination of timber with other materials – especially glass and metals, that allows for a refinement not possible through the use of timber only.
Many projects have been completed in collaboration with architects and designers, including Parliament House, Canberra, Tarrawarra Museum of Art, the CH2 Reception for Melbourne City Council, and St Mary’s Cathedral, Perth. However it is the smaller projects for private clients, often providing a demanding but enjoyable challenge, that give the vital stimulation needed to maintain the continuing high standards at David Emery - Furniture Maker.
