Spence & Lyda - Making Local

May 4, 2020

“Furniture should never be seen as a fashion statement. Things have to have a story, resonate with you, and actually have meaning to you." "It's just not sustainable for us to be importing everything we sell. So that's why it's important if we're making here, to use our woods, and so we do... especially with so much talent here, so much great raw product, why wouldn't we?” — Fiona Lyda, Spence & Lyda

February 12, 2020

“There's an essential environmental custodianship now. So, how do we sustainably use the resources that we have? How do we express through design the most beautiful articulation of those timbers in form, and how do we celebrate the local in a sustainable fashion? We use local because it talks to the story that we're telling, which is essentially an Australian one.” — Lou Weis, Broached Commissions
