Where custom helps

Good for projects where standard furniture does not quite fit.

Catalogue furniture works when the answer already exists. Innate is useful when the space, material, quantity or finish needs something more specific.

01
The space needs a specific sizeTables, benches and leaners can be made around real dimensions, seating, circulation and sightlines.
02
The finish needs to belong in the fit-outTimber, steel colour, edge detail, base style and surface finish can be shaped to feel intentional.
03
The brief is not fully resolved yetDrawings, photos, sketches and early ideas are enough to start a practical furniture direction.

Selected work

Commercial furniture made around real briefs.

A few examples of the kind of work Innate is useful for: hospitality tables, workplace furniture, public-space pieces and custom timber elements made to fit the space, finish and long-term use.

Hospitality

Restaurant, bar and café tables

Made around venue layout, quantity, service flow and finish requirements for public-facing hospitality spaces.

Workplace

Boardroom and shared work tables

Sized and finished around the room, seating, presentation needs and level of presence required.

Picnic-style table with benches in a grocery produce area

Public spaces

Fit-out and public-space pieces

Benches, counters, communal tables and timber features built around site dimensions and practical commercial use.

Workshop advantage

Built around the project, not pulled from a catalogue.

Catalogue furniture is useful when the answer already exists. Innate is useful when the table, leaner, bench or fit-out piece needs to suit a particular room, material palette, quantity or commercial use. You deal directly with a Christchurch workshop that can shape the dimensions, timber, steel and finish around the brief.

  • Made to order in our Christchurch workshop
  • Custom dimensions, timber, steel and finish options

How it starts

You do not need final drawings to start.

A rough brief is enough for us to understand the space and suggest a practical way forward.

01

Send the rough brief

Plans, dimensions, photos, sketches or early ideas.

02

We shape and quote it

Sizes, materials, finishes, quantities, timing and delivery.

03

We build and help deliver

Made to order in Christchurch, with nationwide delivery available.

Materials

Materials with a story and a job to do.

We work with real timber, steel and hard-wearing finishes chosen around the use of the space. Some projects need warmth and provenance. Some need repeatable practical tables. Some need outdoor-friendly materials. The right choice depends on the setting, exposure, quantity and maintenance expectations.
