Martumili Artists was established by Martu people living in the communities of Parnpajinya (Newman), Jigalong, Parnngurr, Punmu, Kunawarritji, Irrungadji and Warralong, and it draws on strong influences of aboriginal art history. The artists and their families are the traditional custodians of vast stretches of the Great Sandy, Little Sandy and Gibson Deserts as well as the Karlamilyi (Rudall River) area. Most Martu people maintain an entirely independent, nomadic desert lifestyle until the 1950s and 1960s when they walked into settlements in response to a long and severe drought. Today, Martu people live in their own communities and regularly visit regional centres such as Newman and Port Hedland.

FORA STUDIOS | Original Nore 1973 Archibald Tan Leather 2-Seater Lounge
Regular price $2,362.00 $2,362.00Pick up from Sutherland only. Call 0404 893 180 or email info@forastudios.com for details and Price
This is not just a piece of furniture but an investment piece you'll be proud of. Think about it this piece of furniture was made 50 years ago, the year the Sydney Opera House was opened and it still looks stunning.
Vintage, yet contemporary with clean lines. It will bring a charm to any older home or a new build lacking in soul, texture and warmth.
Admire the Aussie craftsmanship of 1973. Squishy, comfy and great looking, this soft seducer is a sister piece to the Nore Archibald armchair that features as a permanent fixture in Melbourne's NGV (National Gallery of Victoria) in Black. Ahh, but do they have the tan leather 2-seater lounge???
Made from striking Australian eucalyptus hardwood & premium/thick Howe leather when the latter was still produced and finished in Australia.
The lounge is of incredible quality, and is genuinely rare to find in this now fashionable sumptuous tan colour.
The two seats are actually separate, allowing easy repositioning as well as multifunctionality to your space whether it be a home, study, office or grooovy corporate reception area.
Norman Archibald is a furniture designer active ca.1973 developing furniture for Nore Furniture Pty Ltd, Bayswater, Victoria.
Howe Leather still exists. In 1997 it repositioned itself as an automotive leather supplier producing state-of-the-art car seat leather for the industry for manufacturers all around the world.
Composition: Leather/Eucalyptus wood
For a private appointment to inspect the Nore Archibald 2 seater sofa please call Lidia on 0404 893 180. A one-seater is also available for serious collectors to complete the set.

WANDA Hand Screen Print | CLUBBIES PRINTS
Regular price $170.00 Sale price $68.00 $68.00About Wanda Surf Life Saving Club
The Wanda Surf Life Saving Club was formed in 1946 by a group of returned servicemen. The colours of Army Red, Air Force Blue and Navy Blue were adopted as the club colours. Since this time Wanda has grown from its original founding members to its current membership of over 1200 male and female members.
Wanda Surf Life Saving Club runs Nippers and inclusive Nippers in the September to December season training thousands of potential future lifesavers for our beaches.
Help this Surf Life Saving Club earn donations well into the future. Clubbies Prints donate $5 for each print sold and, if the club offers an inclusive (special needs) Nippers Program Fora Studios will match that $5 donation!
Team up your Clubbies hand screen print with a Corner Block Studio sustainable Australian hardwood Pressi hanging frame. Fora Studios commissioned Queensland's Corner Block Studios to make a custom-size frame, especially for the Clubbies Prints size.
The Pressi frame allows you to admire the quality of the paper and the screen print technique without a reflective cover. Either mount directly onto the wall for a flush contemporary look or with an additional cotton string for that old-school charm.
Pressi frames are available online or in our Jannali store.

If you prefer a traditionally framed print have it professionally framed or for an economical alternative, simply purchase an IKEA Ribba Frame for the perfect fit.
Note: Prints will be delivered rolled up in a tube.

CORNER BLOCK STUDIO | Pressi Frame A1 - A2 - A3 - A4 - 50cm
Regular price $95.00 Sale price $48.00 $48.00An easy and beautiful way to frame your artwork. Simple to use with no magnets or tools required.
Ideal for prints, photos, posters, kid's art, and original art - on paper, card or unhemmed fabric up to 1mm thick.
Designed and crafted in Australia by Corner Block Studio in Meanjin, Queensland, they are made from premium, sustainable timber and 100% cotton cord.
How it works
The artwork is gently clamped in each timber bar using a soft cotton cord. This securely holds the artwork, without damaging it.
The top and bottom 1cm of the artwork is covered by the timber.
The Pressi Frame suits paper or card up to 1mm thick (about 600 gsm card).
It also suits textiles if un-hemmed and with straight edges e.g. (linen, cloth, silk, canvas). For hemmed textiles see the tea towel frame.

THE LITTLE GROWERS | Kids' Apron in Rust
Regular price $63.00 $63.00We love The Little Growers' gorgeously cut and stitched aprons.
Join The Little Growers community of small garden grubs, to create connectivity, develop healthy habits and an understanding of the earth from a young age.
Apart from being fun for kids, the research tells us that, even more than weekend sports and activities, the more time young children kids spend growing, harvesting and understanding food, the better their health will be over their lifetime.
Your child's school or pre-school may already have a vegetable or herb garden. Why not take the leap and get them excited about growing their own at home. They may teach you something. You don't need a big backyard, just a few pots for herbs to start with, or some raised planters for vegetables on the balcony.
Depending on your council, you could grow your own on your nature strip and get your street involved. Share food scraps and compost and eventually real food from the earth where you live.
The Little Growers' aprons are machine washable and are made from a 70% linen, 30% cotton fibre blend.
Sizing best for Ages 3-7
Also available in Vege Garden Print
