Emerald Bluffs
Wall Mounted Floating Console 40,000 year old live edge ancient swamp kauri (Agathis Australis) fiddle back grain
The clients of a Richard Naish designed home wanted a unique piece of functional art to greet their family and friends when they entered the house.
We selected a very rare ‘fiddle-back’ ancient swamp kauri slab that was mounted 2” off the schist wall.
Client Testimonial
“We approached Andrew of Treology based on a recommendation from a previous customer. We were looking to identify a 'very special' piece of timber for the entrance of our home in West Wanaka. Andrew professionally presented a proposal based on a selected piece of ancient Kauri, exhibiting the unique 'fiddleback' grain. The Kauri slab catches everyone's attention as they enter our house, and they cannot resist to run their hands over this lovely piece of timber. Overall, our expectations have been exceeded.”

It was a pleasure to handcraft the Milford desk for the Award-Winning Emerald Bluffs Guest House. The folded steel base for the desk was inspired by the plunging mountains that create the Milford Sounds and the way the light catches shadows on the ridges and valleys of Mitre Peak. The desk is finished with hand rubbed, low V.O.C., natural plant oils to bring the grain to life.
The Milford Desk - river rescued matai wood + steel plate.
