Bywater Design is a Brisbane furniture studio established in 1986.

Specialising in bespoke furniture making, heritage restoration, fine timber polishing and woodworking classes.

What we do

A wooden dining table with red upholstered chairs, one of which is pushed in under the table, on a patterned rug with a white wall and wooden floor in the background.

Custom Made Furniture

From Art Deco inspired media units and mid-century credenzas, every piece is designed and handcrafted in our Brisbane workshop.

A vintage wooden cabinet with glass doors and decorative carvings, placed outdoors on grass near a pond with lily pads and trees in the background.

Restoration & Polishing

We restore and revive antique, heirloom, and fine timber furniture with the same care and precision we bring to every original commission.
