TUCKBOX’s debut collection has the wow factor

The first collection by Melbourne’s TUCKBOX really caught my eye. I discovered it on social media recently (where all the good stuff is) and had to know more.

Did I mention there’s copper involved? Say no more!

The Klein collection comprises of a number of stools/side tables in various heights, a coffee table and a wall mountable hallway table for tight spaces. Let’s face it, we could all find a space or use for one of the beauties, whether it’s as bedsides, next to a freestanding bath tub, at the breakfast bar, around a table or next to the lounge for your cuppa and book.

If you don’t see exactly what you’re after, the good news is, you can customise too. Just contact them with your ideas.

The collection represents the journey of its designer and maker, Dan de Groot, from a cool design office in London to a dusty shed full of timber, steel and old machinery in Melbourne’s north. Dan, an industrial designer, started the business with his brother Ant and wife Prue over a long lunch in December last year. They had an idea for furniture that embraced the shadows and light of the Australian seasons, with simple lines and a modern character.

“At the heart of this collection is the ability to customise. From our timber top shapes, to finishes, sizes and base colours, there is so much flexibility,” Dan explains. “We like seeing the character of our products change when the customising takes place and customers make them their own.”

Responding to increasingly compact urban environments, pieces in the Klein collection are designed to work in smaller spaces, be stackable, transport easily and become loved items in your home or workspace. 

We’re looking forward to seeing what they come up with next!

Australian made, customisable furniture to suit every home in OZ Design’s latest collections

Sponsored by OZ Design Furniture

LIFE_PALOMA_PORTO_R300

In a world of mass produced, imported furniture and homewares, it’s always refreshing to find an Australian made option and better still, when it can be customised to your requirements. Most people love the opportunity to play designer and create something different to what everyone else has.

OZ Design Furniture’s new autumn/winter 2014 ranges are so varied there’s something to suit everyone’s home and add some much-needed warmth and comfort for the colder months. Who doesn’t want to get cosy? It has to be one of the biggest pluses to this time of year! What’s more, there’s never been a better time to embrace a bit of seasonal decorating with the brand’s introductory offer of $100 off for every $500 spent. That’s a discount worth having! It’s for a limited time only though, so don’t hang around.

Celebrating 35 years as a leading Australian furniture and homewares retailer, OZ Design is committed to providing an extensive collection of quality, design-inspired, functional pieces that remain true to the core values of the company’s Australian owners. The different OZ Style Collections help customers to identify with a certain look that reflects their personal style, and easily put together pieces which complement each other.

I’m loving the Federation buffet and the retro look of the Vamp dining table and chairs. The Porto shelving system is not only great storage but gives budding stylists a great opportunity to display books and trinkets and create their own vignettes.

You can pick from hundreds of Australian fabrics for your sofa or chair and even select your sofa depth, arm width, seat comfort, feet options and leg stain. With their timber ranges, you can choose between Tasmanian oak and Blackwood, that can be stained in a variety of finishes and are available in size and style options.
