An Australian brand driven by collaboration, designing contemporary furniture for a global community.

We see design as a force for shaping the way we live, work, and move through the world.

For nearly two decades, we’ve been crafting furniture and lighting that redefine spaces with thoughtful innovation and a defining aesthetic.

Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that better environments lead to better experiences. Every piece we create starts with a conversation—collaborative, curious, and open. This approach allows us to explore new ideas and deliver designs that resonate on a global scale.

As an Australian boutique brand with an international presence, we bridge local expertise and global ambition, partnering with manufacturers and designers in Europe, North America and Australia. Guided by a commitment to sustainability and responsibility, we craft products that don’t just enhance the present but help build a more conscious future.

Collaboration lies at the heart of everything we do.

As a design studio and furniture brand, we bring together our expertise in industrial, interior, branding, and graphic design to foster knowledge-sharing relationships with our clients and partners.

From entirely new designs to individual pieces, we approach each project with a personalized touch—listening to your vision and ensuring every detail aligns with your goals. Collaboration is not only the foundation of our success but also central to our company ethos, driving us to deliver exceptional design and innovation.

Under the leadership of our founder and Chief Designer, Alexander Lotersztain, our skilled team works closely with you to turn ideas into reality. Whether you're seeking bespoke furniture design, custom interiors and joinery, or space planning from our Studio team, we offer tailored solutions that meet your unique needs.

Sustainability is at the core of our design philosophy.

We produce on demand, ensuring that each piece is made with purpose and care.

By working with a diverse network of manufacturers across North America, Europe, and Australia, we are able to offer short lead times and responsible distribution while supporting local communities and economies. This "global/local" focus allows us to deliver thoughtful design solutions while fostering relationships with the regions we operate in.

We go beyond certification, actively seeking innovative ways to reduce waste and improve our processes. We understand the importance of taking responsibility for our impact on the environment and continuously explore new methods to create more sustainable practices.

A true example of this philosophy is our Wombat plush toy. Made from fabric and foam production waste, the Wombat supports local wildlife charities while showcasing how we can transform waste into a meaningful product that gives back to the community.

For us, responsibility isn't just a certification—it's an ongoing commitment to a better future.

We know that the best designs are built to stand the test of time.

Every piece we design is made with careful consideration for its durability and performance. Our unwavering commitment to quality is reflected in every stage of our development and manufacturing processes. To reinforce this, we offer a minimum 5-year structural warranty on our products.
We design with longevity in mind, aiming to create pieces that stand the test of time. While we can't foresee every eventuality, we take pride in the timeless quality of our work and are here to support you throughout your journey with our products.
