planet’s core philosophy is to make the world a more beautiful place.

our furniture is simple, sustainable, streamlined and built to last. planet furniture combines the unique resources of sustainably grown solid australian hardwoods with the tradition of highly skilled timber craftsmanship and is designed by ross longmuir. our mission is to strive for originality and a quality that makes sense of our australian context.

natural fibres, handcrafting, sustainability, integrity and style are all featured at planet. our belief is that by attempting to make sense at all times we can help to focus on beauty, as well as being responsible with our environment.

natural fibres age beautifully and have inherent characteristics that make for superior useability and longevity and uniqueness to an end product. there is a history in the material that gives an object life beyond the obvious and this adds meaning.
