New Clifton Collection: Timber Furniture with Architectural Presence

We're excited to introduce our newest custom timber furniture range - the Clifton collection. This new range celebrates honest beauty and features clean structural lines softened by modern curved profiles, to suit homes that value functional design and understated strength.

What Makes the Clifton Timber Furniture Range Different

The Clifton collection takes a straightforward approach to solid timber furniture design, creating visual lightness without sacrificing strength. This is furniture that earns its place through thoughtful proportions and quality hardwood construction.

This design philosophy prioritises architectural presence through carefully considered proportions and uninterrupted surfaces, allowing the natural hardwood timber to shine.

Crisp, Curved Profile

Integrated Finger Pulls

Dainty Legs for Lightness

Honest Construction in Handcrafted Furniture

The Clifton collection doesn't hide its construction methods, option to show rather than conceal the quality Australian craftsmanship that goes into each made-to-order timber piece.

Architectural Proportions in Modern Furniture

Each piece is designed with carefully considered proportions that give solid timber furniture architectural weight without overwhelming contemporary living spaces. The result is custom furniture that anchors a room while allowing other design elements to breathe.

American Oak Timber and Custom Furniture Options

The Clifton collection launches in solid American Oak timber, a hardwood choice that showcases the range's design principles perfectly. American Oak's straight, consistent grain patterns complement the clean lines, while its light colour keeps furniture pieces feeling fresh in contemporary Australian settings.

Like all our custom furniture collections, Clifton can be made to order in your choice of sustainably sourced timber species. Whether you prefer the rich tones of Walnut timber, the character of Recycled Messmate, or any of our other hardwood options, each timber brings its own personality to the Clifton design framework.

Made to Order Furniture in Melbourne

Like all Retrograde solid timber furniture, every Clifton piece is handcrafted in our Melbourne workshop using traditional joinery techniques and premium European hardware. The made-to-order approach means each custom furniture piece can be sized to fit your space exactly, from overall dimensions to internal storage configurations.

Each piece of our Australian made furniture comes with our comprehensive 10-year structural warranty, reflecting our confidence in both the design quality and construction methods we use for all custom timber furniture.

The Bottom Line

The Clifton collection isn't about following trends or making bold statements. It's about creating furniture that works well, looks good, and lasts. The focus on honest construction and architectural presence means these pieces will remain relevant as your home and style evolve over time.

For contemporary homes that value quality over decoration and function alongside form, the Clifton collection offers a thoughtful alternative to mass-produced furniture.
