Grandfather's Axe holds Australia's largest range of Vintage Mid Century Modern furniture from Europe and Australia.
Grandfather's Axe was founded by Ed Klein in 2009. Two years prior to this, thinking about starting his own mid-century furniture business, he was working at an academic publishing house when he met with an academic at Monash University.
He described the program he was charged with as a 'Grandfather's Axe', where the head and handle have both been changed half a dozen times - but the axe, passed down from generation to generation, is still Grandfather's Axe.
Mid-century furniture is not only beautiful and well-made, it's also a wonderful way to contribute to sustainable living. One of his great passions is to reduce the waste they produce.
Restoring a 60-year-old piece of design means that piece can live for another 60 years. The embodied energy used to produce furniture is enormous.
Spread that energy over the decades ... and the sofa you sit on could be the most sustainable thing in your house. Image Credit: Grandfather's Axe
