His passion for early 20th Century Antique furniture is reflected in the Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts and Art Deco aesthetics prevalent in the Classic Timber Furniture range. The swirling organic carvings, clean bold lines and quiet sophistication of these influences have helped shape timeless pieces that are still fresh and relevant today.
The Contemporary timber furniture collection is an exciting range of contemporary pieces that combine clean, natural styling with beautiful Australian hardwoods. The range reflects a minimal, modern aesthetic while still offering interesting visual elements of a quality piece of handmade furniture.
The emphasis has always been on quality solid timbers, carefully handpicked for individual grain and figure. From the shimmering patterns of Quarter-sawn Silky Oak (Lacewood) to the fine, creamy grain of Australian Blackbutt or the robust grain of American Oak, all pieces are polished and finished to an exceptional standard.
Established in 1993 by Brisbane furniture maker and designer Mark Mills, Lacewood is a Brisbane based boutique furniture company, passionate about crafting bespoke furniture in exquisite solid timbers. We regularly freight pieces Australia wide, please see below for approx. freight guide pricing to Capital cities including Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Cairns and many more.
Marks interest in furniture design combines the best of Early & Mid Century furniture aesthetics with contemporary functionality to produce a range of bespoke furniture that is both beautiful and practical.
He is passionate about blurring the line between ‘old and new’, offering an eclectic mix of both Classic Antique and Contemporary furniture to suit a wide range of interiors.
The collection is diverse, with pieces ranging from an array of exquisitely detailed Queen size Antique Beds in North Qld Silky Oak to the Contemporary Hardwood furniture range in Australian Blackbutt & American Oak.
The finer details are important and are what sets Lacewood Furniture pieces apart from mass-market factory furniture. Each piece is handmade with the love and attention to detail that only a dedicated Craftsperson can offer. (Link to ‘Arts and Crafts table’ detail?) Commitment to excellence.
Marks personal commitment to quality is uncompromising and all pieces are built to offer a lifetime of satisfaction. Workmanship is fully guaranteed and the finest materials, finishes and hardware are sourced from all over the world.
Mass-market furniture has overwhelmed the market place and sadly ‘old school’ knowledge & skills are on the decline. Mark is passionate about keeping ‘The Craft’ alive by embracing both the old & new techniques. i.e. exposed joinery, dovetailed drawers, handmade carvings etc. (the list goes on!) are always carefully executed with care and precision.
