welcome to my first official post. 

As the title of this blog suggests I am a bit of design collector. My background is interiors and I mostly collect furniture and homewares.

As my Melbourne apartment is reaching the potential point of becoming dangerous overfilled (is there such a thing - I can still walk in!), I thought I might photograph some of my extensive collections of ‘stuff’.

post number one - timber cooking utensils

Ironically, I do not really cook. For some unknown reason I have accumulated a fairly large collection of timber cooking utensils, which I have bought over the past ten years. Yes, I have used the vast majority of them for either cooking, drink-making and serving. The others have probably not seen the light of day. I do have to further admit I have a ‘few’ more pieces in my Sydney home too…

There are no major ‘designer’ timber tools in my collection (yet!), though I have always wanted a pair of iittala Seth-Andersson salad servers. I think you’ll agree with me that I don’t really need them.  Look out for the few random wooden objects thrown in just for fun…
