O’Connell’s Legacy
O'Connell's Legacy is a piece with a profound tale, a story of transformation and a celebration of new beginnings; crafted from the recycled Rimu sourced from the historic O'Connells Mall in Queenstown, New Zealand, to be displayed at the same Mall, once the renovation dust settles.
The nail marks of the salvaged timber are highlighted and celebrated as scars of a distant past, and the underside displays a canvas of waved and charred textures, embracing the ancient shou sugi ban technique, providing a striking contrast.
O'Connell's Legacy is a testament to the beauty found in the cycle of renewal and the art of repurposing, capturing the spirit of transformation in every grain and groove. This piece represents a full circle of appreciation and celebrates the future without forgetting the past.
