David Emery
Fine Furniture from this eminent Australian Designer/Maker
Entry Foyer Art Space
6 June – 12 July, 2009
David Emery's professional interest is in making furniture of a clean uncluttered nature, with an emphasis on balance and proportion. His skills are mainly in the use of timber, with an emphasis on veneering as this allows greater flexibility in design avoiding the limitations of solid timber construction.
