From The Big Scrub to Fine Craftsmanship | The Tony Kenway Story
In this podcast, we delve into the life of Tony Kenway, a master craftsman deeply connected to the natural beauty of Northern New South Wales, Australia.
Tony's journey begins in "The Big Scrub," once Australia's largest subtropical rainforest. His story unfolds as he and his family moved to the pristine shores of Wategos Beach in Byron Bay, back when only a handful of houses graced the coastline, leaving an everlasting impression on his bond with the area.
Throughout the podcast, Tony shares valuable insights from his experiences, particularly the lessons he's learned while crafting fine furniture. Prepare to embark on a global journey as Tony takes us through his international adventures, working with prestigious exhibitions, collections, and businesses.
Inspired by the coastal environment, Tony has crafted a unique range of designs that have earned him national and international acclaim, with his work featured in collections worldwide.
Join us in this podcast to be inspired by Tony Kenway's remarkable journey, his profound connection to Byron Bay, and his unwavering dedication to the art of creating exquisite timber furniture that pushes the boundaries of craftsmanship.
