Featured in Homes & Interiors Scotland – July / August 2022
Our Ancient Australian Redgum Fairy Wren was featured in the July and August 2022 issue of Homes & Interiors Scotland, the country’s leading interior design and architecture magazine. The brand extends far beyond its print edition, offering insight and inspiration across social media, online platforms and design-focused events. Its ethos is to look locally while thinking globally, encouraging readers to explore creativity, craftsmanship and collaboration in meaningful ways.
The magazine highlighted our Ancient Australian Redgum Fairy Wren, a sculptural piece created by woodcarver and sculptor Gary Field. These stylised bird forms are inspired by the native Fairy Wren, a small and lively bird known for its charm and quick movements through Australian gardens. The sculptures combine new Redgum and Ancient Redgum, allowing the rich red tones of the newer timber to contrast with the deep black, fossilised wood. Each bird is mounted on a base of Coolibah burl, an iconic Australian timber known for its complexity and character.
The Fairy Wren sculptures are available in two variants, with either the tail or the body carved from Ancient Redgum. Their clean, uncluttered forms give the pieces a contemporary feel while still paying tribute to traditional bird carving. Each sculpture is supplied with the Ancient Redgum story and includes a certificate of authenticity from the Museum of Victoria, making it a meaningful and distinctive Australian gift.
The inclusion of the Ancient Australian Redgum Fairy Wren in Homes & Interiors Scotland reflects the magazine’s appreciation for craftsmanship, natural materials and thoughtful design. Blending artistry, storytelling and Australian heritage, the piece sits comfortably within the publication’s design-led and globally minded editorial world.
