The lecterns are destined for the new Commonwealth offices within the building which will include suites for the Prime Minister, Opposition leader, a number of Federal Ministers and other MPs who are moving from their old digs over in Phillip Street. Made from Tasmanian Oak Veneer which has been vacuum bagged around a circular jig, the lecterns certainly provide a contrast to the usual box-y versions on the market and bear a passing resemblance to their new home.
