Ring us during trading hours and you'll get a maker, not a call centre. We can price a piece over the phone once we know sizes and timber.

Come and run your hand along the timber. Samples, finishes and hardware are all out on the floor, so decisions get a lot easier.

Tell us what you're building
Whether it's a full kitchen refit or one dining table, the more detail you give us up front, the tighter the quote. Photos of the space help more than words sometimes.

Finding us
Cremorne Street, between the river and the rail
We're a couple of minutes from East Richmond station and there's two-hour parking along Cremorne Street. Trams on Swan Street drop you about a seven-minute walk away.
Bring your plans. Bring a paint swatch. Bring the dog if you like, the workshop floor is a friendly one. Allow about forty minutes for a proper walk-through, longer if you want to talk veneers.

Typical turnaround for a first written quote after we've seen your measurements.

Booking a Saturday slot
Saturday mornings fill up three or four weeks out. If you need a specific date, call the studio rather than emailing, it's simply faster for everyone.
Who you'll talk to
The crew who answers the phone
No account managers between you and the bench. These are the three people who'll read your brief, measure your room and hand-build the thing.
Marta Kalnins
Workshop manager
Marta runs the bench and quotes the jobs. Fifteen years in cabinet making, most of it in Melbourne's inner east.
Dev Ramanathan
Design lead
Dev draws the plans and handles the awkward corners, the odd angles and the heritage walls that refuse to be straight.
Sione Tuilagi
Installation lead
Sione and his van bring the finished pieces to you. He's the one who'll tell you if a doorway is going to be a problem.
What we build
Two things we do more than anything else
Most enquiries that land in the studio fall into one of these two buckets. Both start with a conversation and a tape measure.
Tables
Bespoke Dining Tables
Solid timber tops, your choice of species, base and finish, sized to seat exactly the number of people you actually feed.

On weekdays you can walk in and someone will usually be free within a few minutes. Saturdays we'd rather you booked, because showroom staff are thin on the ground and a proper walk-through takes forty minutes.
If you send measurements and photos, a written quote usually lands within one business day. If we need to measure on site, add a week to get a slot and another day or two after that.
Yes, and it's often the smoothest way to run a job. Send the PDF set and we'll come back with what we can build as drawn, and where a small change would save you money.
Melbourne metro is straightforward. Regional Victoria is doable and we quote it case by case. Interstate is rare but it happens, usually for dining tables where the client wants to deal with the maker directly.
Half up front to book the timber and the workshop slot, the balance on installation day. Terms are set out in our terms and conditions, and cancellation details live in the refund policy.
