LLOYD BROOKE
Helen Gerry
Centre for Fine Woodworking tutor.
Lloyd Brooke Anderson is a New Zealand-based artisan specializing in sustainable, handcrafted furniture. Initially drawn to music and songwriting, he later turned his focus to woodworking when his young family needed quality, durable furniture.
Starting with a small workshop in Melbourne, Lloyd embraced hand tools for their precision and connection to the craft. With support from his wife, Vanessa, he founded Lloyd Brooke Furniture, dedicated to creating unique, lasting pieces from premium timbers.
Now back in New Zealand, Lloyd oversees each stage of production, crafting furniture designed to endure for generations.
‘Elodie’ Side Table - Northland locally grown Walnut 415mm x 415mm x 550mm
The Elodie side table is to be used beside your bed, against a wall, next to the couch... whenever the need or inspiration arises. Our Elodie tables tend to move around the house as our needs change.
I originally designed this table shortly before leaving Melbourne in 2020. We spent 13 years in Melbourne and had three children over there.
The last one is our young Elodie. She is free spirited, playful, and with a detailed personality!
This piece is made using locally grown Walnut timber from a farm in the Bay of Plenty. The textural elements on the top of the legs are carved with a delicate little gouge.
