SINCE 1987
The JahRoc Story
Nearly four decades of designer furniture, Australian art and an enduring connection to Western Australia.
1987 · THE BEGINNING
Jarrah and stone
Gary Bennett founded JahRoc in 1987 in his backyard shed in Scarborough, making coffee tables from hand-split Toodyay stone and old jarrah salvaged from building sites. Hence the name: Jah (jarrah) and Roc (rock).
David Paris joined in 1988, beginning a partnership that would last nearly 40 years.
2003 – 2023 · MARGARET RIVER
