Tomahawk

We are in the middle of the Polish summer. I say in the middle, as Polish summer is usually mixed with weeks of rain, temperatures lower than 15 degrees and sometimes also sun. Every sun is different, 2 years ago and a year ago we had heavy rain that caused severe floods mainly in the South of Poland and in the big cities located by the river Vistula (Wisła). Now, when I am writing this post, it's raining... It has been now 2-3 days of a cold weather, it's also very windy. In contrast, last week it was a very sunny and hot weather, so here in Poland we are unhappily used to unpredictable weather conditions in the summer (though in the winter we all know in advance that it is going to be verrry cold for at least 5 months).

Resuming my introduction, I would like to share with you an interesting, all season campfire that can help you to evoke some warming memories from the winter time (when you were warming yourself up by the fireplace). It can be rather useful when it pours with rain outside, it is cold indoor and you do not feel like doing anything apart from lying in bed, waiting for this time to pass away (especially in June).

Towahawk Studios presents a cosy table: The Campfire Table designed by Tomek Archer in 2002. It's made of solid timber. The feeling that you get using this object can be compared to the feeling of timeless ritual of gathering, Archer descibes. The Campfire Table is very simple, made of simmetrical pieces of timber of equal lengths, they are packed flat and shipped to a customer in a way so it's easy to assemble without additional fixings.

Tomek Archer is not only a furniture designer, an architect, but also a drummer for a Sydney based band Van She. His Campfire Table was launched last year in Milan. The collection of furniture is produced with sustainable and high quality materials assembled in Australia in order to preserve the local craftsmanship. Have a look at some more of their projects.
