Bride&Wolfe chic timber silhouettes

deer-timber

I’m particularly excited to bring to the pages of Design Tavern a Melbourne based company ‘Bride&Wolfe’, creating intricately stunning timber silhouettes for your home.

 

The silhouettes can be hung from walls, doorways, ceilings or window frames. People have purchased Bride&Wolfe pieces for weddings, housewarmings and baby welcome presents. Of course, many people buy them to enjoy in their own home.

 

 

 

Bride&Wolfe’s timber silhouettes evoke fairytales, forests and the magic of childhood. Designed to hang from walls, doorways, ceilings or window frames, each piece is a charming and sophisticated example of contemporary folk art.

It is Melbourne based Miranda Moreira who founded Bride&Wolfe in 2005 — Her inspiration came from a Hansel and Gretel silhouette that she found in a store whilst living in Paris — She was so transfixed that on her return to Melbourne, Miranda began her crafting her own silhouettes from timber — inspired by her home town’s keen, fresh spirit as much as the easy ooze of Parisian chic.

 

Bride&Wolfe pieces are inspired by Chinese papercutting, fossicked embroidery and fabrics, European folklore, and vintage Disney films. These influences are the touchstones for modern, resonant designs that evoke fairytales, forests and the magic of childhood. The intricate creations are produced in Melbourne in small runs and hand-finished in Miranda’s garden studio.

 

Also, Bride&Wolfe can boast that all products are Melbourne made and designed The silhouettes can be hung from walls, doorways, ceilings or window frames. People have purchased Bride&Wolfe pieces for weddings, housewarmings and baby welcome presents. Of course, many people buy them to enjoy in their own home. What’s more, Bride&Wolfe are extremely flexible with their designs- you can get in touch with the crew to discuss changes such as colour and material if you so wish.
