Tony Kenway
Tony is committed to making collectable pieces of furniture from the finest timbers available. As a prominent Australian designer, he has developed a unique range of furniture, drawing inspiration from simple and elegant forms found in the marine and coastal environment where he lives. Tony’s knowledge and appreciation of Australia’s rare timbers have enabled him to create exquisite furniture of the highest calibre. This, together with a traditional background in cabinet making and boat building, has led to international recognition for his designs and craftsmanship.
Tony’s furniture has won international design awards and art prizes including the ‘Best Chair’ award in 2003, and again in 2006, at the Philadelphia Furniture Show. Examples of his work are housed in numerous public and private collections in both Australia and abroad, including The William Morris Trust House, London, The Australian Queensland Art Gallery Permanent Collection and the ‘Himi’ Chair collection Sizuoka, Japan. He was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 1998.
