Our Story – Crafting Connections and Community

At Innerspace, we believe that furniture is more than just pieces for a space—it’s a connection to people, stories, and creativity. Since our beginnings in 1950, founded by the Hawkins brothers, we’ve evolved from humble artisans to an Australian leader in high-quality furniture. But our true strength lies in the relationships we’ve built along the way—relationships with our clients, our communities, and our passionate team.

Made in Australia, Designed for the World

Proudly Australian-owned and operated, we collaborate closely with local designers, manufacturers, and suppliers to create high-end furniture that meets global standards. This conscious decision not only supports the prosperity of our local community but also ensures that our products are crafted with care and craftsmanship.

Our journey from specialised handmade furniture to renowned home and work decor is driven by more than just quality products—it’s about nurturing connections and enhancing wellbeing. We believe that true value goes beyond transactions, focusing on creating spaces that bring happiness, comfort, and health to your life.

ABOUT US

Fostering Innovation & Inclusivity

Our people are our greatest asset. We foster a culture of collaboration, where creativity and innovation thrive. By supporting local designers, manufacturers, and Indigenous communities, we celebrate diversity and inclusivity. We actively pursue partnerships with foundations dedicated to boosting Indigenous employment, apprenticeships, and traineeships within the furniture design and manufacturing sector.

 

A Commitment to Heritage and Wellbeing

While Innerspace might have a long history, our country’s history is even older.

Innerspace acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land, Gadigal of the Eora Nation (Sydney), Naarm of the Kulin Nation (Melbourne) and the Whadjuk Nyoongar (Perth) and the people on which we work and live, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.

We endeavour to learn from our past and encourage connections to our culture.

Lifting Together – A Shared Mission

We believe in the power of collective impact. Engaging with specialist Australian Labour Hire companies who employ Indigenous workers and implementing educational programmes to elevate our understanding and that of our clients, we make a conscious effort to elevate Indigenous participation in the furniture industries.

MEET THE TEAM // 

Introducing our newest commercial consultant, Jess! 

Favourite design advice:
"Keep it simple, but meaningful."
Great design isn't about adding more elements; it's about making every element count. Strive for clarity, balance and purpose - whether it's colour, texture, form, or layout. Simplicity often leads to stronger, more impactful designs. 

Favourite Product at Innerspace: 
The Elly Coffee Table  by Frigerio immediately caught my eye when I walked into our showroom. I love how having off-centre legs seems like such a simple design choice, yet it transforms the furniture into a playful, unique, and fully-functional sculptural piece. And then there are the finer details - the bevelled edge of the tabletop and the way the tops of the broad legs follow the tabletop's angle... *chef's kiss*

How do you like your coffee?
Flat white with oat milk, and maybe 1 sugar.

Weekends you will find me…
Taking long walks with my husband and our dog (our son in fur), tending to my plants, and trying to revive my old hobby of watercolour painting for the umpteenth time.

We’re so excited to have Jess on board, bringing her thoughtful eye for design, creative energy, and love of all things beautiful to the Innerspace team. If you’re in Perth, pop by the showroom and say hello – she’d love to meet you!
