  • Nick McDonald is the founder and director of Melbourne-based furniture studio Made By Morgen. Working from his Brunswick workshop, he leads both the design direction and hands-on production of the studio’s timber pieces, operating at the intersection of craft and contemporary design. With a background in fine furniture making, McDonald approaches each work as a considered spatial element. Proportion, junctions and structural clarity guide the design process, while materiality remains central. Timber is selected for its character and integrity, with forms reduced to their essential lines. The resulting pieces feel grounded and purposeful, designed not simply to occupy a room but to shape how it is experienced.
