The National Art Gallery of Victoria opened in 1968.

The National Gallery of Victoria – known as the NGV is
Australia’s oldest and most visited gallery with almost
2.3 million people visited the NGV last year. It is one of
Melbourne’s most popular attractions, not only for tourists,
but loved by locals.

The iconic NGV located on St Kilda Rd opened in 1968
and was designed by Sir Roy Grounds. 30 years on, the
Mario Bellini took on the opportunity to redesign the iconic
building.In 2003 it re-opened after shutting for 4 years due
to renovations. YARD Furniture has sourced timber stored
since the renovations and is now crafting it into beautiful,
bespoke furniture.

The Strathewen table has been built using the NGV timber.
YARD Furniture can create a range of furniture pieces using
the NGV timbers, contact us to discover how you can own
a piece of Melbourne history.

“The subtle tones gently bring the Strathewen
table to life.”

FEATURES OF THE NGV TIMBER

The blonde, subtle tones gently bring the Strathewen Table to life. Perfectly contrasting with the bold, darkness of the legs, the NGV timber illuminates the space. Just as art increased in value with time, so too does our NGV timber. Each table is as unique in timber as visually stunning in design.

DESIGNED WITH PASSION

Peter McManus is the designer behind the entire YARD range. Each salvaged beam recycled has its own narrative, a story to be told. Peter’s like a storyteller, every piece of furniture reveals another chapter within YARD’s chronicle. His carpentry background combined with his creative mind leaves no stone unturned when it comes to beautifully crafted, timeless timber pieces.

CRAFTED WITH CARE

Once the rough recycled timbers are de-nailed and machined, they then reveal their true character. From this point, the creative chapter begins.
Peter along with a small team of passionate woodworkers make our pieces right here on site in Preston.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

FINISHED TO PERFECTION

Each piece is finished by hand with precision and attention to detail.
YARD uses environmentally friendly hard wax finish which brings each timber and it’s story to life.
