Shipwreck Furniture

Where land meets the sea, many gifts often wash ashore. From Rubber Duckies

inside capsized shipping containers to your life's calling. That was the case for Nic Kruger of South Africa, who came across the carcass of the shipwreck Kunene. While her bone- like boards were drying in the South African Sun, they spoke to him. He carried the ship skeleton home to his workshop. The Kunene was built for sea fishery patrols, but like all ships, her careers changed many paths before she sank in the ship retirement home that was her harbor. Now her boards, vessels of sea stories fashioned into tables continue their lives, revived by the craftsman of Shipwreck Furniture.

First Studio Visit

If the studio were a ship, and most everything can be likened to a ship, Yesterday I watched for my first passenger. From the iron railing on the downstairs street prowl I met the lovely and talented Daisy Press, Master Modern Vocalist, and welcomed her aboard. She purchased a Spanish Galleon Ring, of course, that she will wear as she tours with Chromeo. We rose to the crows nest and watched the suns light go down and the lower east side light up. We spoke of her unique childhood touring with her parents and Neil Diamond and discovered that we had most definitely been in the same places before as Neil Diamond was my first concert. We spoke of places never been and books to be read. Daisy's wide range of musics mastered can be experienced by all on her website, visit and be seduced by song
