(I) StudioLilyfield · Sydney
Chisel & Canvas workshop, Lavender Bay

A small workshop, with a long memory.

Chisel & Canvas is a workshop built around the belief that the slowest part of the process, drawing, listening, then cutting, was also the most important. We design and build everything under one roof.

Hand-finished and built to outlast the space it goes into. Traditional joinery with quiet contemporary detailing — pieces that feel inevitable.
