Trends - Contemporary wood design
Trends and Products is the part of the show where each week we look at what's happening in a particular part of the designed world. Since primitive man designed the first spear, people have been fashioning objects from wood. In Australia the state of Tasmania has won a reputation for its high quality of contemporary and innovative woodwork. Some of the finest examples are housed in Tasmania's Design Centre, a beautiful building in Launceston designed by architects David Travalia and Richard Leplastrier
