Flo’s Funky Furniture,
including home-ware, gifts, furniture,
signs, outdoor and garden decor.
All pieces are original, unique and hand crafted in my Otaki workshop
on the Kapiti Coast.
I use driftwood, wooden slabs and recycled wood from cable reels,
pallets, wool bales, second hand doors and beds. Whatever is
available and whatever I can find. All the metal parts of my creations
are also recycled, I use horse shoes, reinforcing and engineering steel
off-cuts, pre-loved drawer and cupboard handles, and old railway nails
and spikes.
All pieces are soundly constructed and
professionally finished. The wood is oiled
with tongue oil a rich fragrant furniture
oil which highlights the wood grain and
rustic imperfections giving each piece
its unique character. All metal
parts are rust treated and painted
black.
I also make bespoke furniture, signs
and household wares. Contact me with
your design ideas and we can work
together to bring your unique design to
life.
About Me
I began making furniture at my home in Christchurch in 2012, when I
was given some large slabs of oak. After considering what I could use
them for, I made some outdoor furniture. The experience was life
changing and on arriving in Otaki I set up my workshop. I taught
myself to weld and use a chainsaw, power tools and other machinery
necessary to create my original designs.
I am passionate about what I do, drawing inspiration from the raw
materials I find in and around my local area. I have a large dedicated
workshop at my home. I enjoy working with my customers to see their
unique designs come alive.
Creating furniture and other items is my full time job and I love it!
