Crafting Legacies, Sustainably.
Discover the heart and soul behind Gumtree Furnishings, where passion for timber meets timeless design.
Our Story: A Passion for Timber
Gumtree Furnishings was founded by Liam O'Connell, a seasoned craftsman with a lifelong passion for timber and a vision to create furniture that transcends trends. Growing up amidst Australia's vast natural landscapes, Liam developed a profound respect for wood and its inherent beauty. He imagined pieces that weren't just functional, but heirlooms, telling a story through their grain and form.
What started as a humble workshop in Melbourne has blossomed into a bespoke furniture studio renowned for its integrity and artistry. Every cut, every joint, every finish is a testament to our unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and the enduring beauty of natural materials.
Our Mission: "To craft beautiful, durable, and sustainable furniture that becomes a part of your family's story, enriching your home for generations to come."
Our Values:

- Customer Collaboration: Your vision is our blueprint. We work closely with you to bring your ideas to life.
- Environmental Responsibility: We are committed to sustainable timber sourcing and eco-friendly practices.
- Timeless Design: We create furniture that is not just contemporary but enduring, transcending passing fads.
At Gumtree Furnishings, we don't just build furniture; we cultivate connections – between people and their homes, and between nature and design. Join us in creating something truly exceptional.
