Flo’s Funky Furniture,
including home-ware, gifts, furniture,
signs, outdoor and garden decor.
All pieces are original, unique and hand crafted in my Otaki workshop
on the Kapiti Coast.
I use driftwood, wooden slabs and recycled wood from cable reels,
pallets, wool bales, second hand doors and beds. Whatever is
available and whatever I can find. All the metal parts of my creations
are also recycled, I use horse shoes, reinforcing and engineering steel
off-cuts, pre-loved drawer and cupboard handles, and old railway nails
and spikes.
All pieces are soundly constructed and
professionally finished. The wood is oiled
with tongue oil a rich fragrant furniture
oil which highlights the wood grain and
rustic imperfections giving each piece
its unique character. All metal
parts are rust treated and painted
black. To see my newest designs

I also make bespoke furniture, signs and
household wares. Contact me with your
design ideas and we can work together
to bring your unique design to life.
About Me
I began making furniture at my home in Christchurch in 2012, when I
was given some large slabs of oak. After considering what I could use
them for, I made some outdoor furniture. The experience was life
changing and on arriving in Otaki I set up my workshop. I taught
myself to weld and use a chainsaw, power tools and other machinery
necessary to create my original designs.
I am passionate about what I do, drawing inspiration from the raw
materials I find in and around my local area. I have a large dedicated
workshop at my home. I enjoy working with my customers to see their
unique designs come alive.
Creating furniture and other items is my full time job and I love it!
