This custom built kitchen incorporated the use of solid oak timber to bring warmth and style with a modern finish. A satin two pack finish was used and the bench tops are 40mm stone.
A display wine rack was also incorporated to blend the two zones of the dining area into the kitchen.
We worked closely with Gary Hamer Designs and the client to meet all their requirements and the client is very happy with the outcome.

Creating a look to work alongside a modern kitchen with exposed brick kitchen walls, these floating shelves make the perfect contrast with the modern utilitarian look the owner wanted. The shelves were constructed from layering plywood and finished to standout against the exposed brick and give a beautiful platform for the kitchenware to be seen and admired.

We have recently delivered the new tables and chairs to the Sofitel club Lounge on Level 30
Banquet seating was also installed, adding new spaces of comfort and privacy to the lounge.
The Sofitel wanted 15 dining room tables and 30 new leather chairs and we had very limited space to work within, so we designed a table that was large enough to still be able to fit 4 people comfortably while still keeping the table strong but also light enough to move around.
The chairs are made from an extremely soft leather and are very comfortable and fitting for a luxury environment.

Matthew and the team at Finer Finishers designed and delivered something unique and beautiful for every room in our house. Using an environmentally sustainable product called Eco-Core we commissioned Matthew to build functional yet creative pieces that would make our house a home and he certainly didn’t disappoint. Matthew is a true master craftsman and along with his team of artisans delivered more from this product than we thought possible. Everyone was extremely professional and we had a very positive experience from start to finish. Thank you all so much. You haven’t seen the last of us!

This dining table needed to fit into a small space so as it was going to be small we wanted to make it striking. We crossed grain the ends of the table and crossed the legs and added a contrasting center support. With the use of a driftwood stain and white middle support we tied the table in with a wall unit.
This dining table is 1600mm x 750mm.

This beautiful dining room table is extendable to 2.6metres with a cross design base allowing for extra leg room and the extra chairs. The table without the extension is 2metres and the extra leaf is stored within the table, bringing a hassle free construction when needed to be extended. Simply by pulling one end of the table it opens and the extra piece is lightweight and easy to install with the table sliding easily back into place. The table has a 75mm top detail to give it depth and shape. The natural finish is hard wearing and long lasting. This piece is practical, durable and elegant all in one.

A card players dream table made to seat up to six people, each with their own drawer. The drawers were designed to be invisible when not in use and have inlay from Birds Eye Maple with Flame Mahogany and are felt lined.
The chairs have an ergonomically designed curve that make them comfortable enough to sit in for hours, and the legs are a fluted design.
Matthew and the client worked on the design together, as the client wanted a little bit of himself in the piece so it can be passed onto his children and grandchildren.
The top of the table is made up from book-matched Flame Mahogany , the centre piece is Birds Eye Maple , and the edge detail is Solid Mahogany. The chairs are also made from solid Mahogany.
The client spends many hours at this table happily playing cards on a table he has proudly helped design and watched grow from a dream into a reality.
