I recently caught up with David from David Gunn Designs on one of my regular South Coast shopping haunts. David makes the COOLEST solid wood handcrafted bespoke furniture - with natural finishes and exposed joinery using new and recycled timbers. A skilled cabinetmaker, David has worked in the furniture industry for more than seventeen years, from detailed  joinery on large scale commercial projects to hand crafted one-off designs. Cronulla locals might also recongnise his funky solid wooden blocks as seen in local designer store Roar. 

And another new project that is close to my heart - David has been hard at work making all the solid timber benches and woodwork for the brand spanking new Wharf Rd restaurant on the Shoalhaven River opening next week.  I cant wait to get my first glimpse this weekend - with the work of Interior Designer Rebecca Riles and culinary delights from acclaimed Chef David Campbell, this is bound to be cool coastal dining at its best! I will be sharing updates from my visit to Wharf Rd this weekend, but here is a little sneak peek...
