With a background in fabrication, alternative building and design, Remington Matters began making furniture under his own name in 2015. A few years later, he met Angus McBride, who was completing a master’s degree in architecture. Both drawn to the process of creation, Remy and Angus began working together, designing and making in novel formats, testing their capabilities and expanding their ideas.
From these early beginnings, Remington Matters has grown into a national company with its furniture, lighting and objects appearing in projects of all scales across the residential, commercial, hospitality and civic sectors. Operating workshops in both Perth and Adelaide, Remy and Angus oversee a dynamic team of production managers, industrial designers and multi-skilled furniture makers who share a passion for innovation, experimentation and pushing the potential of their craft.
Our process of creation begins by visualising the concept, turning an idea from a simple sketch into a 3D model. The initial design is then tweaked, iterations considered and the concept further refined.
Manufacturing techniques, methods and capabilities are at the forefront of every decision we make, and we are constantly testing the possibilities of materials and exploring different ways of using machinery.
For leather, upholstery and other select finishes, we collaborate with a trusted network of suppliers who align with our ethos. All our furniture is designed and manufactured in-house at our Perth and Adelaide workshops.
Founded in 2015, Remington Matters is an Adelaide and Perth-based design and production studio dedicated to crafting purposeful designed furniture for real life. We consist of industrial designers, graduate architects, and skilled furniture makers, all driven by the desire to create timeless pieces that stand the test of time.
With a keen focus on practicality and a deep appreciation for the art of living, we meticulously conceive and bring to life captivating products that elevate both residential and commercial spaces. Every item we create is infused with a profound sense of purpose, ensuring that it not only enhances the visual appeal of a room but also serves a meaningful function in everyday life.
With a background in alternative building, Remington Matters began creative exploration through furniture in Fremantle, Perth, during late 2015. Steadily developing his unique design language, Remy continued to grow and expand his craft and soon began employing other like-minded makers and artisans through his practice. Angus McBride was appointed as Remy’s right-hand man in 2018 during his final year in a Masters of Architecture (University Western Australia).
