Founded in 2015, So Watt was born out of a dream to change the way furniture is made and its lifespan in the Australian home.
Founders and Industrial Designers Jonathan and Sophie Biet realised there was a growing appetite for affordable, custom and locally made furniture in Australia, but most customers did not have the means to communicate with large joinery companies.
So Watt bridges the gap between manufacturer and customer or design professional, simplifying the process and making sure custom affordable Australian made furniture is accessible to everyone.
Designers who Challenge the Ordinary.
We are the Modern Maker.

Community Minded
All our work is manufactured by the team at the So Watt workshop in Marrickville. We also collaborate with other local Sydney makers if there is a component we can’t do, making certain the finished piece is 100% Australian made.
So Watt’s inner city workshop has an open door policy and a showroom filled with our work, often including prototypes for feedback from customers. We love meeting our customers, hearing your feedback and being transparent about how we make our furniture.

Workshop Capabilities
Our workshop is carefully curated to house the most efficient and effective tools and machinery. The main piece of equipment is a Biesse CNC route, which cuts all our parts with 100% accuracy. Our spray booth is kitted out as a safe and healthy environment for our team. We have lots of other fun gadgets, like the Lamello Zeta P2 biscuit joiner, which gives us perfect alignment and super strength in all our assemblies.
