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.

Marc Harrison
Marc graduated from The Queensland College of Art/Griffith
University in 1991, after studying Interior Design. His practical skills came long before - from working in the boatbuilding industry between 1985 and 1988. In doing that he learnt about timber, metals and plastics.

The husque bowl was created in 2003 and was the result of an Arts Grant he received in 1999, 'Project Dialogue'. For the project he studied semantics in contemporary design, looking for ways to value add to product and create regional meaning. The use of waste macadamia shell was a practical outcome, since its meaning was both a contemporary statement on recycling and also a statement on the value of local origin.

A unique form of recycling: After the macadamia kernels are removed, the discarded shells are milled into fine particles, melded with a polymer, and the final product is formed into beautiful and useful objects.
