At Design by Timber, we specialise in making your dream furniture a reality using the finest locally sourced wood. Our process is tailored to bring a design vision to life, coupled with exceptional craftsmanship and the beauty of a natural material.

Your journey begins with an initial consultation to understand your needs and then the sketching process begins offering a glimpse into the potential of your piece.

Once a design is finalised talk about material, size, finishes and price are discussed. Once final decisions have been made the design is passed to the workshop to begin it’s creation!
