The beautiful form of the Timpilypa [Music Sticks] is emulated in this coffee table design. The legs are turned from solid spotted gum, and then hot-wire burned by Lulu Cooley in Mutitjulu, the community at the foot of Uluru, to create a sense of Punu [living wood]. The cross-support structure is gently, vertically curved to complement and champion, not hinder, the simple beauty of the leg structure. The ash-grey glass top shades the base, creating a cool space for the timber warmth to reside.

Tali [Sand Dune] Side Table

The legs of this piece are the shape of the Timpilypa [music sticks]. Hand turned in solid spotted gum and left clear of the motif or totem. Lulu Cooley’s Tali [sand dune] hot-wire burnt pattern is laid horizontal on a ply panel, to be viewed from above through the cooling effect of the ash-grey glass. The edges of the circular ply panel are hand burnt as well to balance and thus ground the side table to earth.
