WRW J Award Creation
WRW & Co Furniture was asked to design the Junction Award this year. Founder William Worsp talks about the process.
WRW furniture is designed and made in New Zealand by a team of qualified craftsmen. Timeless, functional, and well-made, they are devoted to the development of original design.
“We were honoured to be asked if we would like to create this year's Junction award,” says William. “After the brief was given, it was simple, we needed to create the piece with our favourite timber in mind, which is walnut. We selected a piece with a bit of character grain and went to work roughly cutting the shape with a jigsaw then a router and then all finished by hand to create the final product.”
Like with many new projects, big or small, William says, they like to be challenged, and design is such an iterative process and essentially about problem solving. “When a new job or project comes up, or one of our design sessions, I’ll often think through many different possible solutions – yet interestingly enough, I often end up going back to my initial idea. Because every piece is essentially a new creation, having confidence in yourself is really important.”
