Our Story

Iluka Studio designs and manufactures a range of products that are inspired by simplicity, attention to detail, quality design and manufacturing, and most importantly, sustainability.

The concept and creation of Iluka Studio was born when founder, Jack Stannard, witnessed how much beautiful native timber was being discarded from construction sites. He began working on ways to repurpose these materials in his small backyard shed.

Jack has a talent for creativity and design, growing up in a family of artists, designers and musicians. In 2021, Jack graduated with a Bachelor of Industrial/Product Design from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS).

In 2022, Iluka Studio expanded into a new creative workshop in Balgowlah, on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Iluka Studio now has an extended core range of products for purchase and can deliver custom projects.

Sustainability

MISSION

The goal for Iluka Studio is to prevent as much timber as possible from ending up in landfill, whilst creating furniture and products that bring people joy. If you work in the construction industry or know of any timber about to go to waste, then please get in touch.

REPAIR & RECYCLE

Iluka Studio products are all designed and manufactured so that they can be easily repaired, if ever necessary. The philosophy behind Iluka Studio is to minimise waste and create a more sustainable future for the products we buy.

If an Iluka Studio product is ever damaged beyond repair, they can be returned to the workshop and disassembled then transformed into other products.
