The TIDE Autumn Series

TIDE Design was founded in Melbourne in 2007 by George Harper, who left an unfulfilling office career to pursue his passion for designing and making timber furniture. While studying furniture design at Box Hill TAFE, Harper launched TIDE mid-way through his study and he now leads a small but innovative team to produce quality, sustainable and distinct furniture pieces. TIDE is dedicated to creating environmentally conscious items, using premium quality North American and Australian timbers from sustainably managed forests.. Each TIDE piece is designed and manufactured to last a lifetime, providing an eco-friendly alternative to mass-produced and disposable furniture.

Quality design and manufacturing is at the heart of the brand’s ethos. Harper is committed to ensuring that the finished product is flawless, where every joint and component is meticulously checked and every detail carefully resolved. The use of both past and present furniture production techniques means the team can create individual and custom pieces, without compromising the product quality and longevity. This latest release encapsulates the brand’s philosophy, expanding the existing collection with a detailed approach, combining geometric shapes with soft forms and intricate joinery. This collection is effortlessly sophisticated but understated. The Napier Sideboard in particular showcases the capabilities of the makers by the integration of seamless details that are functional in nature and at the same time combined with a striking design element.

All TIDE pieces are handcrafted and can be custom designed to suit any requirements in terms of materials, finish and dimension, allowing flexibility to adapt the designs to specific requirements which are ideal for both commercial and residential projects. Recently relocating to a new space, the entire TIDE range is designed and made in the Huntingdale workshop, from initial concept to final form. Visiting TIDE is an immersive experience. Combining the showroom and workshop means production can be closely overseen for each item during the manufacturing process, while also offering the opportunity for clients to be taken through the transformation from a beautiful raw material into an exquisite piece of furniture.
