Concept Development &
Computer Modelling

Have a bright idea? Drawn a sketch and wonder what it’s going to look like?

Sketching is good but great design is all about proportions and space. This is why we produce detailed computer models and renders of concepts we develop. It’s how we get serious about the details and it’s great fun.

 
 
 
 
 

Got a rough idea? Let's talk.

Rough Furniture loves a challenge. If you're still searching for that perfect piece but nothing you've seen is quite right, then get in touch. Although we try to get to all the emails we receive in a timely manner it isn’t always possible. For a faster response please give us a call.

View fullsize I don’t often get to build the same thing a number of times but I’m always keen when the opportunity arises. I’m a few iterations into the Ellipses hall table now and I’m almost happy… almost. The best curly Marri from
View fullsize All this would be a lot easier if we didn’t have to worry about seasonal wood movement.
View fullsize Has to be said. This Marri is kind of insane. My mind knows it’s flat but… Thanks to the legends @jpfinetimbers and @thefinetimberco for getting this into our hands.

View fullsize A couple of firsts for me in this drink cabinet and shelves. First time building a tambour door (not as difficult as expected, about as time consuming as you’d expect making 70 of anything). Also my first time milling brass ( a lot messier th
View fullsize Relieved it’s so smooth. @shapertools origin making the track adjustments easy. By leaving the tape in place I’m flooding the bottom with epoxy then going to machine it back tomorrow to create a durable bottom runner.

View fullsize Who’s idea was this bloody tambour door anyway? (ugh, it was mine). Only another 3 million of these to do.
View fullsize Lordy this was a big one to build on a second story… Stained Blackbutt veneers finished with @osmowesternaustralia matte polyx oil. Design by our good mates @13interiors. This piece marks the end of a 2.5 year journey with these fantastic cl

View fullsize I’ve got to remember to design and build some small stuff every now and then. This little side table/stand has been great fun. It’s up for auction at the Kyilla Primary School quiz night on Saturday night 😀.
View fullsize Come to Papa…. @jpfinetimbers delivering the goods with this crazy curly Marri. It’s destined to become an Ellipses hall table as well as a few, as yet undesigned pieces. Much excitement. 😄
View fullsize My babies, my precious babies…they all LEAVE 😭😭😭 Could have quite easily kept this one.
View fullsize Working from home = kitchen fit ups… How @sophwooders puts up with me I’ll never know. ❤️
View fullsize Part of the challenge with spending most of your design time with your head stuck in a computer is getting the ideas out of it. It was a bit tricky to describe how to get the upholstery to fit into the bent oak framework in this banquet seat. Expand
View fullsize I’m pretty happy with this for a first attempt at steam bending. Didn’t make a lot of sense to steam the entire 3.2m length of oak so I used a piece of pvc pipe with a couple of end plugs. I elected to steam the steel bending strap with
