Timpilypa

The elongated shape of Timpilypa influenced the look and inclusion of a long drawer recess.

Lulu Cooley’s Tali [sand dune] motif provides a flowing organic form within the piece. The application of this punu [living wood] provides a subtle yet remarkable homage to the desert. The ply panels are hot-wire etched by Lulu Cooley in Mutitjulu, the community at the foot of Uluru, then installed into the sideboard.

The leg design was borne out of the need to emulate and reflect Lulu’s Tali motif. The leg, whilst simple in form, is built in 3 layers of solid timber to conceal a large block joint. This provides the required strength whilst maintaining a light organic structure and form.
