We all want to have a comfortable home with its own unique signature reflective of our lifestyle. A great way to achieve this is with hand made furniture. There’s an increasing trend to create products that are better quality to last longer, are better for the environment and as a result, better for our health.
Two Australian companies are on a mission to do just that, without compromising on style.
Temperature Design have developed a diverse collection of furniture and accessories by focusing on the fundamentals of design, materials and craftsmanship. Their designs are functional and aesthetically pleasing – good design doesn’t date and they strive to contribute to the mindset that quality furniture can last for generations, reducing environmental impact for future generations. Their Australian made furniture is available with GECA certified foam and timber, 100% recycled lining board and water based glues. The range is designed to be disassembled for easy recycling and most parts can be reused, minimsing waste to landfill.

TIDE Design was established by furniture designer and maker George Harper. Inspired by the honesty, warmth and simplicity of mid-century Scandinavian design, each piece has a timeless, light and elegant feel, with strong, clean lines. The high quality handmade manufacturing process results in products designed and built to last a lifetime.
Predominantly made from solid timber sourced from sustainably managed forests, TIDE have introduced a natural oil finish option reducing chemical impact on human health and the environment. They also provide a maintenance service, repairing damage caused through wear and tear over the life of their furniture.
What better way to create a bespoke look for your home than with furniture that looks great and is easy on the environment.
