Collections

We design our furniture and homewares collections around specific construction methods, with each range highlighting a unique joinery detail or assembly technique that defines its look and feel. This focus on craftsmanship is what gives each collection its distinct character, making it easier for you to find pieces that not only fit your space but also align with your aesthetic and practical needs.

For example, our Plonk collection is a fan favourite thanks to its minimalist yet playful design language. This range is defined by its signature round dowel legs, which contrast beautifully with a thin plywood seat pan or tabletop. The result is a lightweight, floating appearance that feels delicate but is surprisingly robust. The Plonk pieces make perfect stools, side tables or statement dining furniture, and are ideal for open, airy interiors where lightness and form are celebrated. However, due to the nature of its design, Plonk is not suited to larger furniture formats like cabinets or storage pieces—it’s all about creating moments of charm and simplicity.

If you’re after functional storage or more architectural furniture, we recommend looking at our Loft collection. Loft was designed with storage and cabinetry in mind, featuring clean lines and precise joinery. This collection uses a mitre sharknose technique, where the external panels of a cabinet come together in a seamless mitre joint. The front edge is then angled back to create what we call a “sharknose” edge; sleek, modern and satisfying to touch. The result is a refined cabinet system that looks just as good in a living room or studio as it does in a commercial setting. Loft is a favourite for both residential and professional projects because of its versatility and polish.

When choosing a collection for your space, consider the function of the piece as much as the style. Do you need flexible seating? Go for Plonk. Are you kitting out a home office or creating a built-in storage nook? Loft has you covered. And if you’re still unsure, our team is always available to guide you through our collections and help you decide which is the best fit for your layout, lifestyle and preferences.

As plywood specialists, we work almost exclusively with birch and hoop pine plywood, both selected for their strength, sustainability, and aesthetic appeal. You’ll see this material across all our collections—sometimes as the sole material, and sometimes paired with other sustainable options.

We occasionally incorporate materials like OSB (oriented strand board) or recycled plastics to highlight certain design features or add texture and colour contrast. These additional materials are chosen carefully and are often used in moderation to keep the natural beauty of the plywood front and centre.

Our finishes are low-VOC and environmentally conscious, helping us align with our values of sustainability and ethical production. We work with clear and coloured coatings that highlight the wood grain while providing long-term durability for everyday use.

All of our furniture is made to order in our Marrickville workshop. This allows us to offer a high level of customisation in terms of size, finish, and configuration. It also means we’re not contributing to wasteful mass production practices—instead, we craft each piece with care, exactly as it's needed.

Lead times will vary depending on the product and the specific materials chosen. We provide estimated timeframes on each product page to help you plan your project. Please note that these lead times refer only to the production time and do not include shipping, so make sure to account for freight if you’re located outside the Sydney area.

Made-to-order also means you can tweak a design to better suit your space—whether it’s a smaller seat height, an extended shelf, or a new finish to match existing décor.

Absoulutely. We love working on custom-sized projects, it’s one of the best parts of what we do! Whether you're looking for a perfectly proportioned bench seat, a wall-to-wall shelf system, or a custom storage solution, we’re happy to explore options with you.

There are some practical constraints we work within, such as the standard sheet size of plywood (typically 1200mm x 2400mm). For pieces that exceed those dimensions, we may need to incorporate joins or modify the design. But our team is well-versed in making clever design adjustments that maintain structural integrity and visual appeal.

Custom chairs are a little trickier, as they require prototyping and rigorous testing for ergonomics and strength. As such, they involve a higher design fee. For more straightforward items like shelves, cabinets and bench seats, the design fees are more modest and we’re usually able to offer a fast turnaround.

If you’ve got a custom request in mind, email us with a sketch or dimensions and we’ll let you know what's possible.
