We devise beautiful solutions to everyday needs.

Simply Beautiful Design

Our vision is to support a better way of living in the design of simple, functional homewares– ‘useful things’.

 A literal translation of the Scandinavian word brugsting, usethings embodies a tradition of simple, functional design. 

Design Sustainability

With low impact materials, production methods, finishes, and waste minimisation, usethings design solutions encourage a harmonious relationship between family, working life, environment, and community.

Creativity & Craftsmanship

usethings is based in Castlemaine and was established in 2004. We are about simple yet well-made things that embody good design, craftsmanship, local production, renewable or recycled materials, and durability.
