Brian Tunks, founder of Bisonhome, lives and works in Canberra. He attended school in Scandinavia and later trained in ancient history and archaeology at the Australian National University. His post-graduate training included regular archaeological digs in the Middle East, where he excavated an ancient Hellenistic site overlooking the Euphrates River. His experience – of unearthing and analysing ancient pottery and glass – added enormous depth to the Bison design aesthetic, which can be seen throughout the Bisonhome collections.
