The Heartbeat of Australian Craft
For over two decades, Elevare Living has been Perth’s trusted destination for bespoke timber furniture, heritage restoration, and fine upholstery. We are a collective of designers, joiners, and finishers who believe that a home deserves soulful objects—built to be lived with, passed down, and loved for generations.
Not Just Furniture Makers – Keepers of Traditions
Elevare Living began as a tiny two-person workshop in the Perth hills, driven by an obsession with honest joinery and natural timbers. Today, our atelier in Mount Street is home to a dedicated team of designers and master craftsmen who share a single mission: to create and preserve furniture that carries meaning.
Everything we do is a response to the way people actually live – their daily rituals, their favourite reading chair, the table where guests gather. So we take the time to understand the person behind the commission, then shape wood, fabric, and steel into pieces that feel unmistakably theirs.
From our first concept sketch to the final coat of hand-rubbed oil, Elevare Living blends time-honoured techniques with contemporary, functional design. Whether we are building a sculptural dining table or resurrecting a long-loved chaise lounge, you'll find the same unwavering care in every subtle detail.
Discover Our PhilosophyTrue Workshop Culture
We still run a foundation of bench joinery, hand-cut dovetails, and traditional upholstery. It's slower, but it preserves the artistry that mass production erases.
Forest-Conscious Timber
More than 85% of our timber is reclaimed, plantation-grown, or salvaged from old structures. We celebrate natural grain, beetle tracks, and live edges that tell their own stories.
Slow Is The New Luxury
Our pieces take weeks, sometimes months. This slower rhythm gives the wood time to adjust, the workshop time to refine, and you a piece that will never need to be replaced.
From Humble Beginnings to National Acclaim
The path of Elevare Living is marked by growth, resilience and a deepening love for the material world. We've celebrated international collaborations, restored cherished family heirlooms, and seen our works in galleries across Australia. But we are just as proud of the small moments: the thrill of a client seeing their finished piece for the first time.
Work With UsEvery chair, every table that leaves our atelier carries a tiny piece of someone's hope. That’s a responsibility we never take lightly.

Principles Carved In Wood & Upholstery
Our philosophy is rooted in a deep respect for nature, patience, and the irreplaceable value of human hands. It informs every decision we make—from the timber we put forward to the trim on a hand-sewn cushion.
“We don’t sell sofas or tables. We listen to a person, read the energy of their room, and shape an object that understands their story. It's enduring design, honed slowly.”
Ergonomics First
Proportions change the feel of a room and the health of your body. We refine depth, seat angle, and table height until it simply feels right.
A Personal Touch
Your story leaves a subtle mark: maybe a hidden engraving, a chosen timber knot, or a hand-stitched monogram inside a back cushion. Always unique to you.
Honest Materials
Natural timber will crack, fade, and patina over the decades. We don't hide this—we engineer pieces to age gracefully, and show you how to nurture them.
Functional Heirlooms
A piece isn't finished until it is used. Cushions must invite naps, drawers should glide silently, tables must withstand a family’s real life.
