Custom Design Furniture

Where Time, Love and Tasmanian Timbers Craft Your Legacy

Screenshot at .. PM
At Distinctive Timbers & Furniture, we believe beautiful furniture isn't just built, it's crafted. It's a culmination of time, dedication, and the inherent beauty of Tasmanian timbers. Our timbers, much like a fine wine, require expertise. They take years to mature, then undergo a meticulous drying and resting process before ever reaching our workshop. This ensures exceptional stability and allows the timber's natural character to shine through in every piece we create.

Custom Design Furniture: Crafting Timeless Pieces from Tasmania's Finest Timbers


In the heart of Tasmania, Australia, lies a legacy of craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations. Custom furniture, crafted from the island's native timbers, embodies a unique blend of natural beauty, durability, and timeless elegance. This site delves into the world of custom design furniture, exploring the exquisite range of Tasmanian timbers available, the process of creating bespoke pieces, and the benefits of investing in custom-made furniture for your home or business.


The Beauty of Tasmanian Timbers
Tasmania's forests are home to a diverse array of timbers, each with its own distinct characteristics and aesthetic appeal. Some of the most sought-after timbers for custom design furniture include:


Tasmanian Oak Dining Tables: Known for its strength, durability, and warm, honey-colored hue, Tasmanian oak is a popular choice for dining tables, coffee tables, and cabinetry.


Huon Pine Dining Tables: A rare and precious timber, Huon pine is prized for its pale, creamy color, fine grain, and resistance to decay. It is often used for high-end furniture, such as dining tables and custom-made cabinetry.


Blackheart Sassafras Dining Tables: This unique timber features a striking contrast between its dark, almost black heartwood and pale sapwood. Blackheart sassafras is often used for statement pieces, such as dining tables and coffee tables.


Rainbow Myrtle Dining Tables: Renowned for its vibrant and colorful grain patterns, rainbow myrtle is a visually stunning timber that adds a touch of exotic beauty to any piece of furniture.


Tasmanian Myrtle Dining Tables: A versatile timber with a warm, reddish-brown color, Tasmanian myrtle is suitable for a wide range of furniture applications, from dining tables to bookcases.


The Process of Creating Custom Design Furniture


Creating custom furniture is a collaborative process that involves close communication between the client and the craftsman. Here's a general overview of the steps involved:


Consultation: Clients meet with a furniture maker to discuss their specific needs, preferences, and budget. The craftsman will ask about the desired style, size, and functionality of the piece.


Design and Planning: Based on the client's input, the craftsman will create design sketches or drawings to visualize the proposed piece. This may involve selecting the appropriate timber, determining the dimensions, and considering the overall aesthetic.


Material Selection: The craftsman will carefully select the finest quality timber from our stock of sustainable aged timbers, ensuring that the chosen timber is suitable for the desired style and function.


Construction: The furniture maker will begin the construction process, using traditional techniques and advanced tools to create a piece that is both beautiful and durable.


Finishing: Once the piece is constructed, it will be finished to enhance its natural beauty and protect it from wear and tear. This may involve sanding, staining, or applying a protective coating.


Delivery: We arrange shipping and installation across Australia and internationally.


Investing in custom furniture offers several advantages:



Uniqueness: Custom-made furniture is one-of-a-kind and reflects the individual style and preferences of the client.


Quality: Crafted from high-quality materials and using skilled craftsmanship, custom furniture is built to last.


Functionality: Custom design allows for furniture to be tailored to specific needs and requirements, ensuring optimal functionality.


Value: While custom furniture may have a higher initial cost, it can be considered an investment that appreciates over time.


Sustainability: By choosing custom furniture made from sustainably sourced Tasmanian timbers, you are supporting responsible forestry practices and preserving the island's natural heritage.


Custom Design Furniture for Commercial Spaces


Custom furniture is not only popular for residential settings but also for commercial spaces. Here are some examples of how custom-made pieces can enhance the look and feel of businesses:


Custom Conference Tables: Create a professional and impressive atmosphere in boardrooms and meeting rooms with custom-designed conference tables that reflect the company's brand identity.


Custom Boardroom Tables: Elevate the status of your executive team with a custom-made boardroom table that is both functional and visually stunning.


Custom Restaurant Fitouts: Create a unique and memorable dining experience with custom-designed furniture that complements the restaurant's theme and ambiance.


Custom Office Fitouts: Enhance productivity and employee satisfaction with custom-designed office furniture that is both ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing.


Distinctive Timbers Custom design furniture crafted from Tasmanian timbers offers a unique combination of beauty, durability, and sustainability. 

Whether you are looking to create a stunning centerpiece for your home or enhance the professional image of your business, investing in custom-made furniture is a wise choice. By working with a skilled craftsman, you can create a truly one-of-a-kind piece that will be cherished for generations to come.
