While the designer’s Westmoreland address suited him well across the past half-decade, Tim Webber was starting to feel that the space was too small for his ever-growing collection of products — comprised of both his own designs and the exceptional new brands joining the Tim Webber fold.
So, in seeking a new space to showcase the breadth of his offering, the designer sought to find a sizeable building in an accessible location that would allow furniture and lighting to breathe, and give Webber and his team the ability to create considered and curated ‘moments’ in the showroom.

A brief the new Tim Webber showroom in Grafton — a lofty, industrial building nestled in the midst of a number of notable showrooms, delivers on implicitly. The new location further builds on what is fast becoming the city’s burgeoning design destination, with the substantial space’s interior cleverly divided into disparate ‘rooms’, conjuring the experience of home.

“The idea was to create a space that felt elevated and welcoming,” says Webber, “Somewhere where people would feel relaxed and comfortable to spend time in.” He continues, “So being very conscious of treating all the surfaces with texture was important, and choosing finishes that compliment the furniture and lighting so it feels like a cohesive space for customers to experience.”

With an ever-growing edit of global and local brands, as well as Webber’s own expanding collection of furniture design, this new space sits as a thoughtful gallery, offering clients a new design destination.
