Chair and bar stool with wooden legs on a gray background

Luke Crouch Studio produces seating in small numbers in New South Wales, Australia.

Each piece is built in solid Australian hardwood. Frames follow traditional chairmaking logic: mortise-and-tenon joints, wedged through-tenons, built to carry weight. Stretchers are set to take load, not just to decorate.

Seats and backrests are carved from solid timber. After shaping, the surfaces are brushed, burnished and sealed by hand to a quiet satin sheen. Subtle movement in the timber, and evidence of the hand, are considered part of the work.

Australian hardwoods — sheoak, red gum, blackbutt — are sourced locally in New South Wales, worked green, seasoned in the studio and finished in-house. This gives the pieces their weight and calm presence, and it means each run is truly limited.

The intention is simple: house-strong furniture with a sculptural presence. These chairs and stools are made to carry weight, to take on touch, and to live in a room for a long time — not just in a photograph.
