Precision Fit Joinery specialises in one-off custom designed furniture through a process of co-design.
Typically, designers and or individual clients seek out Precision Fit Joinery because they want to work collaboratively with a maker in the development of a piece of built-in or free-standing furniture. Pieces that are specific to their requirements and resolve a functional need.
Clients who understand the value and joy that can be created when great co-design is matched with one-off skilled execution, often find themselves seeking out Precision Fit Joinery.
We work in a co-design fashion. The process starts with us listening to the specific needs of the client. We seek to understand what it is the client is seeking to achieve.
In order to assist the client with this task, we begin with offering design and construction ideas and offer select but suitable options in order to hone a solution that the client owns and is a champion of.
Meet The Maker
What started as a childhood fascination with all things mechanical and an innate need to create, was fostered by the skills learned via an old-fashioned trade school learning. An early period spent as a wood machinist in a period and custom home builder on the north shore of Chicago set the foundations for a 35-year love affair with creating one off timber cabinets, boxes and joinery.
After a successful career as a commercial builder delivering some of Austalia’s most important medical research and allied projects, Matthew could no longer resist the call to establish Precision Fit.
The Precision Philosophy
Great design is achieved only when the balance between form and function is achieved. Art for art’s sake has its place, just as having a functional solution devoid of any aesthetic considerations can be valid. Precision fit is all about seeking in every commission, the right balance between the two. Form must have a value as prominent as function.
