Timpilypa Sideboard
Made in Australia Designed by ALTONE
Lulu Cooley’s Tali [sand dune] motif provides a flowing organic form within the piece. The application
of this punu [living wood] provides a subtle yet remarkable homage to the desert. The ply panels are
hot-wire etched by Lulu Cooley in Mutitjulu, the community at the foot of Uluru, then installed into
the sideboard.
The leg design was born out of the need to emulate and reflect Lulu’s Tali motif. The leg, whilst
simple in form, is built in 3 layers of solid timber to conceal a large block joint. This provides the
required strength whilst maintaining a light organic structure and form.
