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.
