Australian Design Honed & Hewn by Dan Szpytko and Maggie Warrell

Honed&Hewn is a new home-wares and lifestyle brand made up of partners in design and life Dan Szpytko and Maggie Warrell. You'll know Maggie from her jewellery brand Postpress Design, she has now teamed up with her partner Dan to bring you Honed&Hewn. Honed and Hewn began with those beautiful handmade coffee tamps you might remember from our 2017 Autumn Popup. They have now branched out into some new designs such as wooden wall hooks and stunning mid-century plant stands in collaboration with Jude Keogh, one of our resident ceramicists. While they both design the products, Dan has all the technical knowledge and know-how to get the products made with the highest possible quality. Read on dear readers to learn more about this dynamic duo and their creative process.

Studio Visit with Maggie Warrell of Postpress Design

Meet Maggie Warrell, the clever designer and maker behind Postpress Design. Maggie has been present in the Orange design community for years, regularly participating in local markets and exhibitions as well as the Sydney and Melbourne Finders Keepers Markets. She has honed her unique style of cleverly designed jewellery over the past few years and continues to develop new work consistent with her unique aesthetic. Maggie uses silver, ply wood and magazine print to create her statement neck pieces as well as the more delicate and fine, every day necklaces and earrings. We caught up with Maggie at her beautiful mid-century home to find out more about her practice.
