EightySevenDesign are a Melbourne based furniture studio focused on unique design and quality construction.

 

Furniture by EightySevenDesign is a blend of retro / modern / industrial styles, incorporating bold lines with smooth curves. Every dimension is thoroughly analysed to ensure a unique, balanced and desirable piece of furniture is made. Each piece is methodically planned in order to create a strong long lasting product. They do not attempt to hide construction methods and techniques but rather make a feature of them. With each screw highlighted by a plywood plug construction it is honest and the end product looks good.

 

Currently the furniture sold (excluding custom orders) is made from Birch plywood. Visually Birch is bold and striking, with large swirls of grain throughout the veneer. They also offer furniture made from birch and ply which is available in a variety of colours. Pieces made from form ply have an unmistakable Industrial look about them. When you add the featured plywood plugs the result is a very bold piece of furniture.

 

EightySevenDesign currently offer a range of retro modern furniture with further designs to come. If they don’t have something that suits your needs they will design and create something that will be sure to make a statement in your home.

DESIGNER Q&A

 

Where do you get your inspiration?

 

"Every building, every rock, every tree. I couldn't pinpoint the source I get my inspiration as for me inspiration is everywhere."

 

What has been your favourite piece and why?

 

"The bedside is my favourite piece. This was the first piece of furniture I added to my store. The design and the enjoyment I got from making them really kick started EightySevenDesign."

 

What is your favourite material to work with?

 

"Birch Plywood. Birch is an extremely strong and versatile material to work with. It is easy to finish and packed to the brim with detailed grain."

 

If you were to expand your product range to something entirely different, what would it be?

 

"Lighting. I can see EightySevenDesign heading in that direction. One day incorporating a range of free standing lamps and lighting fixtures."

 

Describe your products in three words...

 

"Modern. Unique. Honest."
