Wood Melbourne

Product Designer & Maker

Brunswick, VIC, Australia

Wood Melbourne was founded by carpenter, builder, tinkerer and inventor Oliver MacLatchy. Oliver loves the way timber looks and feels, its versatility, how it ages with you and tells a story. In Oliver’s world, timber belongs in every room of the home. During one of his tinker sessions in his workshop in 2013, Oliver invented timber spouts and since then Wood Melbourne has grown. With over 16 years experience as a carpenter, Oliver produces his pieces to the highest quality. The raw timber used for each spout is reclaimed timber that goes through a 12 step process by hand including denailing, sanding and waxing. This process makes sure each finished timber spout is unique in aesthetic but uniform in levels of exceptional craftsmanship and quality. Each individual Wood Melbourne item is designed and made by hand in Oliver’s workshop in Melbourne.
