Theory of Willow combine recycled timber with colour and pattern to make unique homewares

By Jen Bishop •

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Theory of Willow are a husband and wife team making stylish and colourful homewares from recycled timber.

Theory of Willow 1

They started with 2nd Chance Tables, a custom-made recycled timber table business started by Chris Booth. Building on the concept of using recycled timber, he and wife Hien developed Theory Of Willow’s homewares range. “We incorporate colours, shapes and patterns into our homewares, which we feel compliment and accentuate the beautiful characteristics of recycled timbers,” says Chris. “Blending these elements results in striking, eye-catching products that otherwise might have been quite ordinary.”

Theory of Willow 2

A carpenter by trade, his love affair with carpentry started from an early age. Through the influence and guidance of his father and grandparents, he developed a fondness for building things from scratch. In 2012, Chris first tried his hand at making and selling tables using recycled and reclaimed timbers.

Every single piece of Theory Of Willow homewares is designed by Hien and handcrafted by Chris. Hien loves to experiment with shape, line and colour and has a fondness for asymmetrical and geometric patterns. The Melbourne pair hope their pieces will be part of people’s homes for years to come. 

Theory of Willow 3

“We use recycled timbers that hold defining faded markings that have been fostered through years of use,” says Chris. “While some people are repelled by these imperfections, we celebrate them and make them the showpiece of our homewares.”

I remember the chair being such a key purchase whe I remember the chair being such a key purchase when I put together my first ever baby room for Seb. I spent many an evening relaxing on mine while pregnant as I tried to get my head around impending motherhood! Not only are glider recliners like the Chelsea from @iltutto the most comfortable chairs EVER for those many hours spent feeding and settling, why shouldn't they look this good too, am I right?!

Did you love your nursery chair? Did it look this good?!

There's a LOT of goodness in @sageandclare's lates There's a LOT of goodness in @sageandclare's latest collection Marguerite but the Aida rug has to be my personal fave.

Handcrafted from wool, it features a rustic check design with a rainbow of nostalgic colour. Embroidered edge stitching furthers its handcrafted feel. 

“This is pure colour joy bundled up in a hard-wearing and happy rug that will lift any room with ease," says creative director Phoebe Bell.

Head over to the blog now via link in bio to see more, including Phoebe's 5 faves.

A DIY dining nook bench seat with storage for $120 A DIY dining nook bench seat with storage for $1200!

After 4 years of saying “a dining nook would be great there…” South Australians @the_groves_abode finally got a quote from a local cabinet maker for a built-in bench seat with storage. When the $4,000 price tag was revealed, criminologist, chronic over-achiever and wannabe carpenter Andrew decided to have a crack at it instead.

And we're so impressed with the end result which cost just over a grand. Read what they did, what they used and how in the blog now, via link in bio.

Mess = stress! Today on the blog, @little_label_c Mess = stress!

Today on the blog, @little_label_co founder Natalie Manoushian is sharing her top tips for a more organised home. I'd love you to share your best tips in the comments too!

"Disorganisation puts barriers in the way. Imagine how much quicker you would get things done if your home or work space ran smoothly. Researchers have found that clutter can actually make it more difficult to focus on a particular task. From the frustration of not being able to find what we need, to the feeling of being constantly surrounded by chaos, a disorganised environment creates brain fog and can lead to procrastination and reduces productivity. It can also trigger feelings of stress and anxiety, making it difficult to switch off, relax and sleep well."
