Inlay Collection

The Inlay Collection

Explore our signature black cabinetry range; the Inlay Collection. From dining room essentials to hallway and alcove problem solvers, this stylish range is a simple and beautiful way of adding dramatic black colour to your home.

As big believers in the power of black as a neutral in any colour scheme, we designed our Inlay cabinetry as an accessible yet interesting way of incorporating black furniture into your home to create balance with lighter pieces and other wood colours.

Signature Finish

We worked through sample after sample to create our signature black wood finish. With a light sandblast and deep stain, this creates a tactile and timeless finish looking modern yet storied and beautifully contrasting with the the inlay effect flush shaker doors in a warm, deep wood tone. Paired with brass piano hinges, the palette of this piece is deep and inviting.

Function & Form

After years of experience sourcing furniture, we have come to understand the fundamental needs people have that were not being met. Our Inlay collection addresses these with beauty and practicality from the hanging glass storage in our bar cabinet, internal shelf heights that can store a standing wine bottle to sliding doors on our narrow hallway cabinet.

More About the Inlay Collection

"I first conceived of the two tone wood cabinetry while designing a commercial project in 2022; Goldies Bar," says our Creative Director, Alannah Monks. "I was taking inspiration from vintage inlay game tables from the 1950s and 60s and how beautiful the craftsmanship was on some of these pieces, for the project I created a range of tables that mirrored this look.

When the time came to create our own designs, I knew that I wanted to create a range of black cabinets as I'm a big believer in using black furniture to ground a space, but doing so in a chic way that doesn't pull focus isn't easy. I decided to adapt my Goldies idea with some mid century style legs and the range was born!"

We believe that black furniture has a place in any room but works especially well in a space with many wood tones already exisiting.

"As a rule of thumb, I say that three different wood tones is all any space can handle," Alannah says. "You have to account for your floors first, then one large piece like a sideboard or dining table, and lastly smaller pieces like chairs and lighting. Then you should reach for black to create some depth and contrast! A great example would be a wooden dining set paired with a black bar cabinet, or a wooden coffee table paired with a black media unit."

Treat black as a neutral and it will work in any colour scheme or palette. A single piece is all you need to make an impactful statement.

We agonised over getting the dimensions of the collection right to make them as functional as possible for any house.

- The 2 Door Cabinet; This piece was designed as the ideal alcove filler in a living room. At 90cm wide it will fit alongside a fireplace in most homes and 86cm works well as a TV cabinet in rooms of approximately 4m depth.

- The Tall Bookshelf; With the base dimensions matching the 2 Door Cabinet, this piece is a perfect alcove filler for a room with tall ceilings, especially in living rooms with record players with the base fitting most 30 x 30cm records.

- The Sliding Door Cabinet; We wanted to create a versatile and stylish piece for narrow hallways and landings. At 30cm in depth and sliding doors, it is perfect for walkways that need a little boost of storage and a play to pop a table lamp upon.
