Husque
Husque the company was formed in 2003 by product designer Marc Harrison and architect Paul Fairweather. It was established to develop the Husque material and its uses in the areas of design ware and architectural applications.The Husque material was a unique creation of Marc Harrison. As an innovative material, Husque was inspired by recycling and the enigma which is the Australian macadamia nut. Milled Australian macadamia nut shell is used and processed with polymer to create a dense mouldable material. In appearance it is akin to 'Bakelite' from the 1930s, the semi translucent colour holds fine speckles of macadamia nut shell. The end result is a rich natural brown finish which can be enhanced by the application of Macadamia oil on a soft cloth. Each product is hand finished by mirror polishing the colour linings and hand rubbing the exterior of the Husque with macadamia oil.
