Mary Sikkel and Simon Gaiger

Treasure Trouvé - from World of Interiors (February 2010)

We're all a little bit proud in the gallery of our Education Officer Mary Sikkel and her husband Simon Gaiger. Both trained as sculptors, they met at college many moons hence. Their exquisitely beautiful west Wales home is featured this month in World of Interiors magazine (February 2010). Feast your eyes - but go out and buy a copy too to keep forever!

Simon Gaiger

You have to start somewhere...so I'm starting Bird in the House here, on the first day of July. I shot images of some gorgeous pieces we received in the gallery today for the retail section of our forthcoming show - WOOD.

These pieces are by Simon Gaiger, he is essentially a sculptor using wood, metal and found materials but these pieces are domestic and utilitarian, I think that's what I like about them.

'Moveable Feast', oak with steel.
Size: length 780mm, width 200mm, height 370mm



Chopping boards





"Clickety Clack"

A spice crusher - the crusher is made from the rail of the old Carmarthen to Lampeter rail track - hence the name!

Beautifully designed and made - sensitive to the materials, solid, tactile and satisfying.
