Simon Fiske was a Drum Reconditioner, and had a spare ten thousand 44 gallon drums in his back yard. One day he went to his shed, with a friend {Leighton Wallace} and a couple of beers, created a chair, as it turned out it was very comfortable. Drum Furniture was born. That was 1999. It was 2 years later that the Seymour Expo approached Simon to show this idea to the public and this is where the story really began as people loved what they saw. The original thought was to create one off pieces of furniture to act as a talking pieces.
It was in this year that Dean from Oscar W's restaraunt in Echuca asked Simon to make furniture to suit his establishment, and so the galvanised furniture was born. At the Seymour Expo the following year a customer asked if Simon could turn a drum into an esky table, which he successfully did. So now from one off pieces of art work Simon had the most unique outdoor Aussie furniture on the market. It wasn't long after that the International Beer Awards committee asked Simon to exhibit at thier show as they believed he made the Worlds Best Drinking Furniture, which is a title he wears with pride.
Since then the products have been refined and expanded to include bar cahirs & stools, esky’s, BBQ’s and Bars.
All this came about by Simon’s drive to recycle and save the world,{and a couple of beers)
