About

Red Tail Black are an emerging furniture company who specialise in custom designed and hand crafted furniture. We have a unique and adaptable design perspective realised by over 10 years of combined experience. We aspire to create pieces of exceptional quality that are inspired by sustainably sourced and reclaimed materials. It is our expectation that when we craft a piece of furniture for your home it will stay in your home forever.

Red Tail Black are a two-man operation established in Melbourne’s outer east. Each piece of furniture is lovingly created and cared for by the same hands that run the company. Because we are a relatively small operation, we are able to personally inspect and approve every single length of timber that comes through our doors. This means that the materials used in creating your piece are thoroughly inspected for structural defects and hand picked for exhibiting the aesthetic potential that sets our work aside from our competitors.

“I love working with timber, I find it exciting. I love sap lines, knot holes and featured grains. For me, it’s not about trying to cover up the nature of timber, why would you? I choose to work with timber, exhibiting each ‘imperfection’ and shaping them into something perfect.” -Matt

Alongside our ever expanding collection of furniture is our eclectic portfolio of installations. As qualified carpenters we have a background in renovation and restoration, and specialise in permanent home fixtures such as elegant bathroom vanities, profound kitchen bench tops, reclaimed timber doors, custom window frames and wall-mounted mirrors. These permanent additions breathe presence and character into your home and deliver a truly unique quality at the end of any renovation. At Red Tail Black, we believe that combining a piece of our bespoke furniture with a hand crafted and custom fitted installation serves to create a beautifully flowing motif, tying a room together and leaving a lasting impression.
