In the early 20th Century, Canadian and US old-growth Oregon was felled and exported to Australia as a structural material and an alternative to steel. It was perfect for support beams in buildings and factory warehouses. Now, as the old buildings are being demolished and developed, the timber lies in excess.

When first working with the material to create the Banksia Chair in 2024, Mark posited that not only are the banksia pods visually distinctive, but they have the potential to meet the demands of functional design and furniture production. The Banksia Grandis series develops this idea with a focussed, pragmatic approach. Although seemingly delicate and porous, the seeds are solid and heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy lathe-turning and joining multiple banksia pods together, Mark works with their strength and suitability as structural components, such as spindle legs or backrests.

This new material, waste of the waste, has been used in the lamp, A Fluffsmans Folly, as layered shingles, demonstrating potential applications and ensuring maximum material value of the banksia pod.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e—\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMark Lilly is a self-taught furniture maker and designer living in Boorloo\/Perth, WA. Although he has been making furniture for over a decade, it took a move from London to Perth in 2018 for him to settle into his design sensibilities. He then established Manner Furniture to showcase his creative aspirations. The name Manner was chosen to reflect Mark’s approach to design. For him, design is less about what is done and more about how it is done and the manner in which it takes shape.
