A true classic of Australian mid century design has just landed in our Torquay studio!

Produced by Parker in Sydney during the early 1960s, this 'Nordic' draw leaf dining table captures the streamlined, organic aesthetic that defined a generation. It features a beautifully warm teak grain and sits elegantly on signature tapered cigar legs.

Perfect for everyday living or entertaining guests, it houses two clever pull out extension leaves that store neatly beneath the main surface. It effortlessly transforms from a compact daily setting to a spacious table ready to accommodate eight people.

In excellent, restored condition. The timber has a beautiful soft satin lustre that really highlights the natural depth of the grain, and the extension runners slide with absolute precision.

Dimensions:
Length Closed: 132 cm
Length Fully Extended: 218 cm
Width: 91 cm
Height: 73 cm

The Chatley Matchstick chair is perhaps one of the most sought-after silhouettes in Australian mid-century design, and finding a matching set of four in excellent restored condition is becoming increasingly rare.

Produced in Preston circa 1965, these chairs are a true collector's item, famous for the sculptural floating backrests that have made them a staple of high-end MCM interiors.

In our Torquay studio, we have taken this original set through a total restoration to ensure they are ready for the next sixty years. The solid Blackwood frames have been refinished, while the upholstery has been upgraded to Zepel FibreGuard in a stunning Lagoon colourway. It’s the perfect marriage of rare 1960s form and modern, stain-resistant durability.

The Klassik 1022 by Draenert is a definitive example of German luxury modernism from the late 1960s.

Designed by Peter Draenert in 1968, he pioneered the design as a frameless table where the glass acts as the primary structural element rather than just a surface.

The magic is in the engineering. Draenert developed a clever clamp system that allowed the massive 20mm glass plate to span the steel runners without any supporting subframe. This created that famous floating aesthetic that defined the Space Age and High Tech movements. It is a globally recognised design, currently held in permanent collections at both the Met in New York and the V&A in London.

This specific piece features the substantial 20mm thick glass, providing a sense of visual weight and presence that defined German luxury modernism. It manages to feel incredibly solid yet remains strictly minimalist, with the glass appearing to hover in space.

In excellent vintage condition. The chrome frame is bright and highly reflective with only light signs of use consistent with age. The glass top has been professionally refinished, so the edges are perfectly polished and the surface is free from any major chips or distracting scratches.

You could easily mistake this for a Johannes Andersen original...

Back in the 1960s, Australian furniture makers were deeply inspired by the Danish greats. Macrob was right there, interpreting that refined aesthetic for local homes through pieces like this teak extension table. It’s a textbook example of the organic, flowing lines famously defined by Andersen.

The entire design is centred on a sense of movement. Andersen’s influence is all over the sculptural shapes and softened edges, and Macrob captured that influence perfectly here with the tapered legs and the way the frame sweeps into the tabletop. It’s a piece that manages to feel incredibly solid yet visually light.

This table never even made it to the showroom floor. It was a pre-order only, restored specifically for an architecturally designed MCM home currently under construction in Queensland. Honey-toned teak looking better than ever!

[SOLD]

Ernst Hanson, Denmark c1960s

In the mid-1960s, Danish design was obsessed with a single problem... how to make a room feel bigger without getting rid of the furniture.

Ernst Hanson’s answer was this dining suite, a perfect blend of architectural logic where the chairs don't just sit at the table, they become part of it. He designed the backrests with a curvature and height so they slide seamlessly under the table apron, creating one clean, unbroken silhouette of beautiful teak.

This wasn't just about looking sleek. It was a response to the shift toward open-plan living, where the dining set needed to stop being an obstacle and start being a quiet part of the architecture. Hanson moved away from the heavy, imposing styles of the past to create something that actually lets a room breathe. Every line feels organic and purposeful, calculated to save space while keeping that deep, honeyed warmth that defines vintage Danish teak.

The more we restore pieces like this, the more we fall in love with the soul behind mid-century modern design. Delivering this suite to its new owners today is a reminder that great design isn't just about appearance. It’s about the way we connect to the pieces we bring into our lives, and the quiet role they play in how we build a home.

There is a special kind of magic that happens in our Torquay studio when a piece like this 1960s Nathan sideboard rolls through the doors. Founded in London in 1916, Nathan became the gold standard for British Mid-Century design. They weren't just making furniture, they were crafting iconic pieces that have soared in value to become serious collectible investments.

But when this one arrived? It was wearing every single one of its sixty years. Heavily scratched, tired, and grey, the original brilliance of that teak was buried under decades of life.

This is exactly why we love what we do. We often take in pieces that others might walk past, but we always have a clear vision for them. We know with the right approach, we can bring these pieces back to their original glamour and beyond. There is a massive buzz in seeing past the damage to the heritage hiding underneath.

Revealing that raw, honest grain isn’t a process you can rush with a machine. It takes a patient hand and a bit of obsession to navigate those famous organic handles and the refined proportions that made Nathan a staple of 1960s craftsmanship. We pour hours into these details, a dedication that you can feel the second you run your hand over the timber.

We’ve ditched the old-school plasticky lacquers for something much better for the timber (and the planet), and treated this grain with a specialised German Hardwax Oil... Oli Natura.

This eco-friendly, VOC-free finish sinks deep into the fibres to breathe life into the wood from the inside out. It pulls out that complex, fiery teak grain while leaving a water-resistant, velvet-smooth finish that feels incredible.

While this Nathan icon has already found its new home, the studio is currently packed with fresh stock and exciting pre-orders. Our restoration calendar fills up fast, but we are always stoked to help you hunt down and restore your own piece of history.

They say this piece is impossible to find online, but I guess that changes today!

This is the W.H. Gispen Model 507 for Kembo, an icon of Dutch functionalism that has survived nearly seven decades with its soul intact.

Willem Hendrik Gispen didn't just design furniture, he engineered modern living. By the time he co-founded Kembo (an acronym for Kom Eerst Maar Bij Ons) in 1953, he was moving away from the rigid steel tubes of the Bauhaus toward something more Atomic, think playful, sculptural, and unapologetically bold.

This 1957 side table is a standout example of that transition, representing a Contemporary shift in post-war European design. The minimalist black rod-metal frame provides a sharp, architectural base for the winged bentwood shelf. The light yellow lacquer finish is original to the piece, offering a rare pop of 1950s Atomic-era optimism.

To restore the table back to original, we paired it with brand-new Armoured Glass featuring a clean, polished edge. This is the exact original glass specification used when the piece was first designed and released in 1957. It’s a choice that remains entirely true to that 1950s industrial soul while ensuring it is ready for another lifetime of use.

We’ve made the conscious choice to leave the "life well lived" on display. The lacquer is original, delicate, and full of history. We’ve stabilised it to ensure it remains a documented piece of design history, featured in the seminal 'W.H. Gispen - Serie producten 1923-1960' catalog, rather than a refinished shadow of its former self.

Maybe the rarest coffee table we’ve had yet!

Restored to Excellent: The Iconic 1966 Fleronde by Fred Lowen for FLER.

Documented in the NGV and designed by the legendary Fred Lowen, the Fleronde is arguably the most iconic silhouette FLER ever produced.

The story behind the brand is just as impressive as the design itself. Fred Lowen and Ernest Rodeck arrived in Australia as refugees and went on to build one of the country’s most influential furniture houses. While Ernest focused on the technical side, Fred pushed the boundaries of what a modern Australian lounge could look like.

This particular chair is the Type B, the exact configuration held in the permanent collection. Fred designed the chair during a year spent working in Stuttgart, Germany. He wanted to bring that sophisticated European Bauhaus feel back to Australia, and by ditching traditional timber frames for this sleek, contoured shell, he did exactly that.

Features brand-new premium foam and original Scottish Tartan wool upholstery.

An exceptional, matched set of six authentic mid-century Eames Pivot Side Chairs (PSC) for Herman Miller, c.1960s.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to find vintage Eames shell chairs in matched sets, let alone a set of six that has remained together with a single owner since the 1960s.

The Eames Contract Base (seen here on this set of six PSCs) was an engineering marvel intended for durability. Featuring a black steel column rising from a polished aluminium four-star foot, it was designed to withstand the rigors of commercial spaces while maintaining the sleek Eames silhouette.

The real star here is the upholstery. Designed by Alexander Girard (Herman Miller’s founding Director of Design for Textile), this burnt orange tweed isn’t a flat colour... look closely and you’ll see a sophisticated weave of orange and green tones that creates that distinct mid-century texture.

A rare find in beautifully figured oak, this restored Florence Knoll table combines the warmth of natural timber with the clean lines of modernist design.

This is the iconic Model 2480 oval table, designed in 1961 by the legendary architect Florence Knoll.

To truly appreciate this piece, you have to understand Knoll’s design rationale. She wasn’t creating flashy, statement furniture. As the head of the revolutionary Knoll Planning Unit, she designed what she called "background architecture" —essential, perfectly proportioned pieces to solve problems within her holistic interior projects.

Famously, she said, "I needed the piece for a job and it wasn't there, so I designed it". This table was her elegant, versatile solution to the bulky executive desks of the era, born from necessity and perfected in form.

Our role as restorers is to honour that original intent. This example, in a rare and beautiful oak veneer, has undergone a complete restoration in our Torquay studio. We’ve brought the stunning grain back to life and protected it with Oli Natura hardwax oil.

Why this finish? Because it aligns with a modern, healthy home. Made from natural, plant-based oils and waxes, it’s completely VOC-free, food-safe, and allergy-friendly, making it safe for you, your children, and your pets.

The finish penetrates the wood to protect it from within, creating a durable, water-resistant surface that still allows the timber to breathe. The result is a warm, tactile feel that celebrates the soul of the wood.

This iconic piece is now ready for its next chapter.

A new arrival to the collection, ready for its next chapter!

​This iconic nest of three graduating tables, designed by Gerald Easden for Module circa 1960, is a piece we've been eager to source. It's a design defined by its elegant proportions and signature details.

​Note the statement iconic sleigh legs, which provide both structural integrity and a sense of lightness, and the practical lipped edges — a subtle but highly effective detail that prevents items from rolling off, making them the perfect set to use as a coffee table, side table, or as a nest of tables.

​Our restoration philosophy is to enhance, not erase. This set has been lightly restored, respecting its 60-year journey. We've carefully revived the set of tables, celebrating the subtle patina and character that makes vintage pieces so unique.

A timeless, functional piece of Melbourne design history, curated for our collection.

​Designer: Gerald Easden
Maker: Module, Melbourne (c. 1960s)

​Dimensions (approx):
​Largest: 770 x 470 x H470mm
​Medium: 690 x 425 x 410mm
​Small: 615 x 390 x 355mm
