Brodie Neill’s ReCoil dining table embodies a strong sense of place, time and identity. Using reclaimed Hydrowood timber veneer offcuts, Neill has meticulously coiled and laminated by hand three kilometres of veneer. The wood used to make the veneer is harvested from trees that have been preserved beneath the waters of Lake Pieman in Tasmania since 1986, a measure taken to establish reservoirs for hydroelectric power generation. The design references a tree’s annual growth rings, serving as a symbol of the material’s embodied memory. Neill’s work aims to promote sustainable management practices that are necessary for the protection and survival of Australian timber species.
