The original of this John Wardle Low Table For A Rug table was designed for the Shearer’s Quarters at Waterview on Bruny Island. The Persian rug that is at the centre of our arrangement of furniture in the open living area is unrolled upon arrival and rolled up on departure to prevent it fading in direct light from the large eastern window. This table with its wheel barrow like action can roll on and off to accord with this process. Its long tray constantly displays small objects collected on walks along the coast.
