Step Into Health Care Osteopath in Braddon ACT recently got creative with some of our recycled Blackbutt cladding, reclaimed and sawn from salvaged house roof timbers. Their aim was to create a warm environment for their clients juxtaposed to the traditional sterile white of a health clinic.

Thor’s Hammer was invited to create 5 heavy duty raw steel base tables with bench seats for the Kingsborough development in Kingston for the outdoor central courtyard between apartments.

Read MoreA contemporary take on a traditional table.
Rohan Hunt designed this dark beauty with a client looking for a contemporary table that still showed the texture and rustic look of the recycled mixed red hardwoods the table is made from. This means the top was left resin-free to show an undulating sawtooth finish.

Nanook Apartment, Thredbo
You should meet Jackie Dunstone. Her Dad was a Dutch immigrant who served in the Canadian and Dutch armies as a photographer in Indonesia. He was forced to flee to Fremantle and then to Bondi after landing in hot water for selling photos to the CIA. He eventually met Jackie’s Mum who was working as a journalist in Forbes, NSW and they settled in our nation’s capital (Canberra for those readers outside the territory). Jackie spent her early years hanging out soaking up the Marimekko textiles and modernist timber furniture at interior design store "Studio 12” in Manuka, owned by Heather ‘Nikki’ Paral (Jackie’s Godmother). That’s the short version. It’s a rich story that undoubtedly set the scene for Jackie’s adventures as a multidisciplinary artist, entrepreneur and creative do’er.

Dovetail join detail
This Dovetail table is based on a traditional design from the Takayama area of Japan and is traditionally used in Japanese temple gate construction. The joint allows for movement in the timber as it can be tightened easily by tapping the dovetail further across, which is perfect for the extremes in the Canberra climate.
“Sawtooth” finish in our Mixed Reds
Made from Recycled Mixed Reds, we used a “sawtooth” finish to lightly dress the timber. This shows off the patina but lets the warmth of the timber shine through. This table is designed to seat 8, but we can scale up or down depending on your requirements.
Side profile
This one has gone to our new Mixing Room Gallery where they used to mix all the bread before it made it’s way to the ovens. We are slowly filling it with examples of our work so that everything can be seen and sat at, making the design process even easier. It will be opening soon, but if you would like a sneak peek at this one get in touch.
Solving design problems is what we do here at The Hammer. This table came about when we were asked to make a small table with room for a laptop or newspaper to keep the top free of clutter.
