Suzie Stanford, an Australian furniture designer has always been fascinated by the discarded.  Her passion for the discarded was first awakened by her grandfather, who collected things that are neglected and transformed them into new treasures.  Growing up, she was always collecting things from ceramics and potteries to leather and fabrics and transforming them into practical objects.  She rekindled her love of creating objects from neglected or discarded items and materials and started her own jewellery line on one of her annual London trips.  Following the success of her jewellery line, she moved on to work on to furniture and lighting designs and was involved in numerous projects creating one-off pieces which include the Vintage Tea Towel Chairs for restaurants, retail fit-outs and numerous one-off light fittings for bars. Each vintage furniture piece is stamped on the base, numbered and signed by Suzie Stanford, together with the name  of the client.
