Timeless Quality and Contemporary Elegance
Kett’s commitment to timeless quality ensures that their furniture remains relevant and beautiful for years to come, making it a smart investment for any home. The use of rich timber, natural textures, and organic forms brings an inherent elegance that can elevate even the most modern or minimalist interiors. The juxtaposition of contemporary design with nature-inspired elements creates spaces that feel both sophisticated and grounded, offering a harmonious balance between the timeless and the modern.
Integration of Natural Textures and Forms
The seamless integration of nature’s organic forms into Kett’s designs brings the outdoors in, enriching interiors with a warm, serene atmosphere. Whether through the use of sculptural wooden pieces or textured finishes that evoke the landscapes of Johanna Beach and Cape Otway, Kett’s furniture provides a visual and tactile experience that makes the space feel connected to nature. This organic infusion of nature into interior design creates a peaceful sanctuary within the home, inviting a sense of calm and balance.
Craftsmanship and Local Manufacturing
Kett’s collaboration with local artisans elevates the authenticity and uniqueness of each piece. This focus on local craftsmanship not only supports the community but ensures that every piece of furniture has been carefully handcrafted with attention to detail. The rich textures and bespoke qualities of the furniture make it stand out in any interior. From the flawless joinery to the tactile finish of the materials, Kett’s designs add an elevated sense of artistry and individuality to your space, making them a conversation pieces in any room.

Materials and Innovation
Kett’s use of solid timber ensures durability, creating pieces that will withstand the test of time both in terms of quality and style. The brand’s innovative connection systems allow furniture to seamlessly integrate with interior walls, creating a more cohesive, streamlined look. The use of gentle curves in the design introduces a sense of flow, making Kett’s pieces feel like they belong naturally in any environment. These innovations ensure that Kett’s furniture doesn’t just fill space, but enhances it, making interiors feel more balanced and thoughtfully designed.
Design Process and Collaboration
Kett’s focus on collaboration and creativity within their design process means that every piece is born from a deep understanding of functionality, beauty, and craftsmanship. The use of hand-crafted scale models allows the design team to perfect every detail, ensuring that the final product feels cohesive and refined. This careful attention to detail is evident in every piece of furniture, and it ensures that each item fits perfectly within its intended space, elevating the room with its precision and thoughtful design.
The Otway Trestle Coffee Table, Otway Sofa, and Otway Side Table are defined by their soft timber profiles and elegant proportions. Each piece combines the warmth of natural timber with sleek, refined lines, creating a sophisticated yet approachable aesthetic. The gentle curves and thoughtful design of the Otway collection add a sense of balance and harmony to any space, while maintaining a timeless appeal that complements both modern and traditional interiors. Together, these pieces create a serene, inviting environment that feels both luxurious and grounded in nature.
Sustainability and Local Focus
At Kett, sustainability is not just about sourcing materials locally; it’s about creating products that stand the test of time. By focusing on exceptional craftsmanship and using authentic, high-quality materials, we ensure that our furniture lasts longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements. While not all of our products are made in Australia, every piece is crafted with precision and care, ensuring durability and lasting beauty. This commitment to well-made, long-lasting furniture contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle by minimising waste and supporting a culture of quality over quantity.

Customer Experience
Kett’s personalised consultation process allows customers to tailor pieces to their specific needs, ensuring that each item fits seamlessly into the space. This bespoke approach makes each piece feel unique, adding a layer of personalisation that elevates the interior’s overall design. From custom upholstery to curated colour palettes, Kett’s attention to detail ensures that each piece feels made-to-measure for the customer’s lifestyle and home, resulting in an interior that feels both practical and deeply connected to the owner’s vision.
Aesthetic Connection to the Australian Landscape
The Australian landscape itself plays an integral role in elevating the overall design of Kett’s pieces. By drawing inspiration from the rugged Victorian coastline and tranquil coastal areas, Kett’s furniture evokes a sense of place that is both calming and grounding. This connection to the natural world enriches the interior environment, infusing spaces with a deep sense of authenticity and tranquillity. It transforms an interior from merely functional into a space that feels inspired by the natural beauty of Australia.

The earthy hues of weathered rocks, sandy beaches, and windswept coastal grasses are reflected in the collection’s design, with soft, natural materials and refined finishes that evoke the serene yet rugged spirit of the landscape. These elements bring a sense of calm and connection to nature, ensuring the Portland pieces embody the essence of coastal living in every detail. Image by Nicole Reed
