We do things differently.
DEFT Studios is a small, contemporary furniture brand with a strong voice. Founded by Martin + Zani in 2020, after graduating from university together. The duo completed their architectural studies which paved the way for the exploration of product design. The brand naturally grew from a response to living creatively and curiously, and matured into a humble business.
DEFT doesn't do fast furniture. We advocate the slow crafting processes that ensure that furniture pieces endure a lifetime. Furniture is personally crafted by the founders who remain hands-on in production as a means of dedication to their design and craft. The pieces are created with integrity, detail and utmost care to ensure the highest quality is ensured. Built on a foundation of simple design, art, thoughtful craftsmanship (and a little magic).
DEFT exists to create and innovate a world of delightful everyday living through unique, sculptural furniture that promise to spark joy into your home. We make everyday pieces special and joyous - we promise to delight + excite.
OUR STORY.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW.
01.
We are cheerleaders of sustainable production processes and responsible material sourcing. This means we only use FSC Certified wood and opt to minimise our material waste where possible.
02.
We believe in our dedication to quality design and craftsmanship. Therefore, we provide you with a four year structural warranty on solid wood furniture.
03.
We offer customisation on our pieces along with design services for new projects (if we're the right fit for you).
04.
We have partnered with Greenpop to support their reforestation initiative (read about it here). For every large furniture piece sold, a tree is planted. This is not a carbon-offset for the business -its a passion project.
