About 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!

How do I frame my Clubbies Print?

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.

or 

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.

I am overseas. Can you ship it to me?

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.
