One of the other strong benefits of bespoke furniture is that it can add value to something which might otherwise rot or be used for fire wood. The driftwood coffee table was made from a piece of timber that for most people had no value. Thankfully my client had the vision to see otherwise.
So instead of using new timber we split a driftwood log and turned it into a stunning table top. I wonder just how many pieces of waste timber and other materials if we could just find the time and creativity could be turn into either something useful or beautiful and help reduce our never ending thirst for stuff!! By having it made this piece now hopefully has real value attached to it and will last a lifetime and should help to reduce our wasteful consumerist tendencies.
