Who would have thought 20 years ago that a couple of surfing mates, David Paris and Gary Bennett, would emerge as one of Western Australia's most respected and influential furniture designer and maker teams.
Some would say it was due to blazing their own trail of design, drawing from no particular era but preferring to be influenced by thousands of years of design culminating in the 90's and by being acutely aware of forms and textures that create their environment. Others might say it has been their commitment to using materials that others were treating as waste such as demolished bridges / warehouses / wool stores and fallen trees left discarded on the forest floor. Perhaps, it was the way in which they cleverly combine timber, stone and iron to create functional art that people often observe and utter "Wow! I've never seen anything like that before!"
Whatever the reason, there is no doubt that collectors from around Australia, and in fact the world have given Jah Roc their stamp of approval by purchasing their work.
