Timbermill ‘Get Peggy With It’ peg board

DESIGNERS: Sally Taylor & Tom Coles After tinkering in his backyard making furniture for six months, Tom and his partner Sally decided to expand this hobby into a full-time business almost five years ago. Sally’s background in design was the perfect complement to Tom’s engineering experience, ensuring their skills spanned both the practical and aesthetic sides of the business. Their offering now includes tables, chairs, beds and more, with the brand focusing on recycled timber and a range of specialised hardwoods in their Sydney-based workshop. Peggy started life as a rental option for retail customers looking for an innovative way to display items, but is now available for purchase. “It’s a flat-pack design that allows you to be the stylist and dress it up however you like,” says Sally of the 2-metre plywood board. “A CNC machine is used to ensure the holes are exact, then the board, pegs and feet are all hand-sanded and sealed.” Peggy can be customised with shelves, pegs and finishes, and can be used as a room divider or display board. “I love how simple it is, yet it has such a wide range of uses,” says Sally. “It’s always great to see how people style it up as everything from a shelving unit to a floral display wall.” From $422, timbermill.com.au.
