“Anna Small & Warren Pickering, whose shared passion for considered design and attention to detail led to working collaboratively from their shed, in the beachside suburb of Moana, making metal sculptures for walls and gardens.
Both trained in the fine arts, sketching designs that translate into a digital format that is then laser cut and hand finished.
