Simply Beautiful
Our vision is to support a better way of living in
the design of furniture & homewares - useful things.
A literal translation of the Scandinavian word brugsting,
usethings embodies a tradition of simple, functional design.
We devise beautiful solutions to everyday needs.
Design Sustainability
With low impact materials, production methods and finishes, usethings design solutions encourage a harmonious relationship between family, working life, environment, and community.
Creativity & Craftsmanship
Tim Preston and Debbie Taylor are the usethings design team. A Bachelor of Industrial Design and a trade-qualified Shipwright, Tim combines rare knowledge of traditional methods and materials with a modern, cutting edge sensibility. Debbie is an interior stylist with a
passion for design with integrity.
