David Mayhew

David Mayhew's love of the ocean started as an officer in the British Merchant Navy, which led to countless other ships and ocean voyages over the years, carrying to remote areas of the world. In addition to deck officer and ship's captain, he also worked as a lighthouse keeper on the last two manned lighthouses in Australia. Nature is essential to the designer's well-being and an important source of inspiration in his work. Today Mayhew works as a carpenter and joiner, crafting furniture and design objects from wood in his workshop by the beach and prefers to work with traditional tools.
