This week whilst we celebrate the makers behind some of our favourite Australian Made interior products, it is important that we also highlight those manufacturers that also produce the materials that enable us to create and bring to life our designs.

Joinery is where functionality and craftsmanship meet, and is the core of all of our designs. It supports the way our clients actually live. Kitchens, wardrobes, vanities, bars, laundries, mudrooms, studies and storage zones all need to work hard — but they also need to feel beautiful and integrated.

Farmers Doors  - a family-owned Australian specialist producing handcrafted custom timber cabinetry doors, panels and prohis week whilst we celebrate the makers behind some of our favourite Australian Made interior products, it is important that we also highlight those manufacturers that also produce the materials that enable us to create and bring to life our designs.

For CBGH, joinery is never just storage. It is part of the architecture of the interior. It can bring rhythm, texture, depth, and craftsmanship into the home, while also solving practical challenges.

The right profile, timber species, stain, paint finish or door detail can completely shift the feeling of a kitchen, bathroom, bar, or laundry. It is often these details that make a space feel tailored rather than standard.

Custom joinery allows a home to respond to the client’s lifestyle. It can conceal clutter, support entertaining, create calm, improve flow, and add a sense of permanence.

When done well, joinery becomes part of the furniture of the home.

Today, during this Australian Made Week, we celebrate Aussie manufacturing through one of the hardest-working details in the home: tapware.

From the kitchen to the bathroom, laundry, and powder room, tapware is touched and used every day - so quality, engineering and finish matter.   

We’re proud to specify and admire Australian tapware brands, including:

Sussex Taps – the world’s first carbon neutral tapware, manufacturing locally since 1997

Brodware – family owned and proudly manufacturing in Australia since 1964.

Astra Walker - dedicated to crafting timeless innovative bathware for more than 20 years.

Faucet Strommen – passionate creators of fine brassware, crafted in Australian, with a 40-year warranty.

Brands that speak to craftsmanship, precision, and products designed for the way we live.

Because Australian Made is not just about supporting local. It’s about choosing quality, longevity and considered design

Lighting is one of the most transformative elements in interior design.

It changes how colour reads, how materiality is experienced, and how a room feels from morning through evening.
When lighting is handcrafted, it becomes more than a practical selection.
It becomes part of the design language of the home.  We have an incredible community of artisans here in Australia creating incredible lighting.

Today we celebrate just a few of the makers who specialise in beautiful lighting elements featured in our projects.

South Drawn - distinctive, high-end lighting solutions. With a bold creative vision, a deep commitment to craft, and a collaborative approach, the enduring curiosity for materials and form, South Drawn design and manufacture lighting that elevates the spaces it inhabits.

Articolo – with a commitment to artisanal craft and quality workmanship, these sculptural pieces are internationally regarded for a contemporary, yet enduring aesthetic and the luxurious pairing of material
 
Marz  Design –  a signature mid-century and modern aesthetic, taking a collaborative approach and the pursuit of simplicity and natural materiality, these beautiful pieces bring an organic and grounded feeling to our spaces.

Rakumba – Pushing the boundaries of possibility, to explore the creative unknown. Their passion for complex technical challenges delivers extraordinary designs and a collaborative approach. 

LO-FO – custom made pieces, adding beautiful decorative elements to spaces – we love adding these pieces produced sustainably from surplus stone in our projects, and feature here in the CBGH studio.

Australian-made brands and products we love.

In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Australian Made Week campaign, we’re celebrating the makers, manufacturers, and design-led brands shaping Australian interiors.

From furniture and lighting to ceramics, objects, and outdoor pieces, Australian-made products bring something deeply valuable into the home: quality, craft, transparency, and a connection to place.

Choosing Australian Made is not just about where something is produced. It’s about supporting local skill, thoughtful design, and the people behind the process.

This week, we’ll be sharing some of the Australian-made interior brands and products we love.

Starting with our top 5 favs.  
South Drawn Lighting
Robert Gordon Interiors
Farmers Doors
Sussex Taps
Zuster Furniture

Over the week, we will be celebrating brands across furniture, lighting, materiality, tapware and homewares that we love to include in our Interior Design Projects.

Lazy Sunday afternoons. Long lunches that spill into evenings. Entertaining that feels effortless with an alfresco area that flows from inside to out, because great living doesn't stop at the threshold.

W-House is a reminder that we design the whole story, not iust the kitchen.

Design is also about the way a room feels.

You know the feeling. The one where a room wraps around you before you've even sat down.

It's the warmth of the fire before you've felt it, books that line the walls, a chair that remembers the shape of an afternoon . The sense that this is exactly where you're supposed to be.

The library at our Highlands Residence is designed to hold that feeling permanently. Not as an afterthought, but as one of the most intentional spaces in the home.

A place to pause, to read, to simply be still.
 
Because a beautiful home isn't only about how you move through it. It's about where it lets you stop.

Welcome to our Highlands project.
Classic. Deeply Considered. Enduring.

Save this if you appreciate design that respects where it comes from.

Thirty years teaches you when to lead — and when to follow the room.

This home had a story already written. Our work was to honour it, update it carefully, and make it quietly extraordinary for modern living.

Classical. Considered. Built to last another generation.

The kitchen in our Highlands project is ready for its next chapter.

Natural materials, enduring finishes and considered proportions bring a sense of permanence, while the planning supports the rhythm of everyday life, gathering and entertaining.

Not a restoration. A considered evolution.

A home reimagined with respect, purpose and longevity.  

Welcome to our Highlands project.   
Classic, Deeply Considered. Enduring.
