Custom & Contract — Melbourne
From your drawing to the terrace, set for its first evening.
Custom furniture, umbrellas and shade, cushions and soft goods — and your existing pieces refurbished.
What the studio makes
Four capabilities, one resolved scheme.
Made to your specification with our production partners — drawn, sampled and priced before anything is committed.
Kingsley Bate photography — custom work quoted per brief
Custom furniture
Custom furniture tailored to your project’s requirements. We adapt existing pieces from the range, or manufacture from your reference material — banquettes, bar and lounge seating, dining tables sized to plan. Whatever the brief calls for, our manufacturing network delivers.

Specify from our outdoor fabric library, or send your own — C.O.M. welcome, with meterage returned on the spec sheet. We hold the weave, grade and care notes so the fabric on your board is the fabric that ships.

Start this briefHow a commission runs
Five steps, nothing committed until you sign it off.
A commercial project is a sequence, not a leap. Each stage is agreed before the next begins.
Brief
Tell us the project, the venue type, the covers and the month you need it. Plans, mood images, a fabric direction — however resolved or rough.
Drawings & materials
We return drawings and a material schedule — timber, metal, fabric, finish — for sign-off. Nothing is committed until the scheme is agreed.
Sample / prototype
For bespoke pieces a sample or full prototype confirms comfort, scale and detail before the run. C.O.M. is proofed here too.
Production
Made to order with our production partners once the prototype is approved.
Lead time is quoted per brief — counted door-to-door, and never sold as a promise we can’t keep. Production time is added in front of the freight window.
Delivery & install
Delivered to site and installed, the freight window told straight at quote.
Indent lanes told straight — Indonesia 10–14 weeks door-to-door · Europe 12–16 weeks, Cape-routed · accessories air-freight 3–5 weeks. Weeks door-to-door only; production time is quoted separately, in front.
Care & Refresh — the years after delivery
We refurbish existing pieces — quoted per piece — with new upholstery, and updated or new fabric selections to suit each project, current or past.
