Hold Fast Designs

We’re back and ready to kick off 2024 with a bang!!

Unfortunately our workshop and some equipment has been damaged during those crazy storms so it’s a slow start back while we get some repairs done but we won’t let that stop us! 👊🏼

Reach out via email or our website with any projects you’ve dreamt up over the break.

We’d love to hear from you ✌🏼🤎

When designing new styles and pieces of furniture the inspiration is always the timber.

The first sparks of an idea come from looking at the timber and imagining what it can become.

The options are endless and because no two pieces are ever identical the same can be said about the pieces crafted from them.

For the love of timber 🤎

TIMBER + BRASS / The combination of timber and brass is our latest obsession.

The contrast in colour, tone and texture of the two materials works so well to complement each other.

Brass adds a little touch of luxury to the everyday ✨

There is nothing we love more than getting our hands on beautifully unique pieces of timber and transforming them into bespoke pieces of furniture.

If you’re looking for a custom piece as unique and individual as you get in touch we’d love to work with you.

Something a little different for us.... this reclaimed Australian hardwood has been aged after decades of taking a beating in our harsh climate.⁠
⁠
The patina of the timber gives it so much character we thought it would be a shame to dress it down to our usual fine finish and lose all that character.⁠
⁠
The result... a raw aged timber coffee table full of rustic charm that holds the story of it's previous life.⁠
⁠
Will be available online soon but in the meantime call / email for details. ⁠

DESIGN// Our Daintree Coffee table is one of our all time favourite designs and here's why we love it so much...

〰️ Its BIG - this is a big oversized coffee table that makes a statement and makes its presence known!

➰ Negative space - it has been thoughtfully designed with negative (open) space so even though its big it doesn't look heavy and closed in

〰️ Timeless - it has an enduring design that will blend with any style which means even if you update your look or home it will still be the perfect fit

We build all our furniture by hand and it's made to last.

Our aim is to design and create statement pieces that will be treasured and passed down through generations.

When designing furniture we have this is mind and aim to create timeless forever pieces.

SUPPORT SMALL// When you buy custom made furniture directly from a maker you are supporting a local small business.

Local makers support and source their materials from other small businesses and this is how we can keep money circulating throughout our community.

In recent years we have seen that people want more locally made and sourced products and this is great for small business.

Whenever and wherever you can support local - buy food at markets, by direct from makers, support local cafes & restaurants.

Community is everything - support yours! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

There are many reasons why we choose to work with reclaimed timber.

Reclaimed timber is sourced from construction demolition, often from buildings and structures that are decades old which means the timber is well seasoned and structurally sound.

Re-purposing salvaged materials stops them ending up in landfill and that's a big win for everyone and the environment.

But probably the most compelling reason is that reclaimed timber has history and holds memories.

When it is transformed into furniture we breathe new life into it and the opportunity to capture new stories.

Our intention is to create generational pieces that will hold the story of your family.

ZEN DESK// A simple, modern, sleek design that will stand the test of time.

Handcrafted from solid hardwood timber, this is a desk that is built to last.

Head over to our website for more details, www.holdfastdesigns.com.au

TIMBER// There really is no better material than solid timber for your home office desk.

The solid weight and natural feel of a timber desk is unmatched.

Not to mention timber (wood element) has a grounding effect which is great for productivity and stress levels.

Consider timber for your home office desk, it will outlast the flat pack versions and look and feel so much better.

We were lucky enough to get our hands on three timber slabs that were cut from a beautiful tree that had come down in a storm.

The slabs were hollow in centre which to us was the 'feature' and we really wanted to highlight this.

To really accentuate this feature Drew designed a coffee table with a glass insert that sits flush with the timber and gives the effect of water pooling in the middle.

The effect is stunning and truly unique... we always keep an eye out for unusual pieces of timber so we can create bespoke statement pieces for our clients.

Head over to our website and sign up to our mailing list so you can be the first to know when we have new pieces available!

LIGHTING DESIGN// One of the reasons we are adding lighting designs to our collection is to be able to offer custom designs that will elevate your home.

If you have been looking for a feature pendant or lighting piece to really make a statement but just can't find anything you love in the shops then custom made might be for!

Custom made gives you choice that you just don't get in stores - you can customise to make sure it is perfect for your style and space.

If you would like to work with us or find out more about what we offer please get in touch we would love to hear from you!

FORM + FUNCTION // The intention of design should be to meld form with function.

The aesthetic of a design is so important it's what draws you in and catches your attention.

But how it functions is equally as important and should be given as much consideration.

Beautiful FORM + Purposeful FUNCTION= Great design

When designing and creating we are always working to strike the right balance between form and function.

Our intention is to create not only beautiful pieces but functional pieces that will enhance your home and life.
