"Twist" - an entertainment/display unit Through the use of turntables and castors, this piece can be moved and swivelled into a variety of arrangements to suit any interior.

The piece is made from celerytop pine veneer and black-stained mdf, and uses pivots and castors.

This piece had its origins in a tall bookshelf called ‘Pivot’ I made recently, based on my mum’s habit of moving the furniture around. As a child, I would often come home and find that my bed or pieces of other furniture in the house had been re-arranged.

I like the idea of being able to move furniture around to create a different look so I decided to play with changing the configuration of a piece of furniture instead of having to buy a new piece.

My furniture also allows me to share what I value with others. I strive to make it both practical and elegant, and fine local timber is a key material for me. I want my work to be personally relevant to its owners and give pleasure on an aesthetic, functional and emotional level
