- Paul Kafka (1907 - 72) -
Paul Kafka Exclusive Furniture Pty Ltd. of Sydney. Paul Kafka was one of the most significant furniture makers working in Sydney in the immediate post war period. Born in Vienna, Kafka worked in his father's furniture factory later studying furniture design at the Academy of Arts in Vienna. This training and early practice in Vienna in the 1920s and 30s is reflected in references to the Art Deco style which continued to inform his work during the 1950s
- Burr - Burr (or in the USA, burl) is the timber from the knotted roots or deformed branch of the tree, which when cut, displays the small circular knots in various gradations of colour. It is always cut into a decorative veneer, most commonly seen as burr walnut on 19th century furniture.
