Jardan.
Made For Australia's most prominent furniture designers.
Against the backdrop of the Dandenong Ranges in a former Tupperware factory, Jardan's expansive new office and warehouse is a spatial embodiment of their brand essence, values, and legacy as one of the nation’s most prominent all-Australian furniture designers and manufacturers.

With their office move, all of Jardan’s operations were consolidated under one roof for the first time. This presented a unique opportunity to design a curated experience for visitors, whether that be architects, designers, or VIP clients. We designed the space so that all visitors would arrive through the ground floor show room. They could then be taken on an organic journey through the building, progressing to observe product sketching, fabric selection, timber polishing - garnering a chronological and comprehensive understanding of Jardan’s process.
The spatial narrative created for Jardan embodies the brand's essence while mirroring the cyclical nature of the life of a product, and the life in a long, Australian day. From the curated showroom experience to the bright, airy workspaces, and sprawling social areas, every element evokes a sense of progression and vitality, mirroring the evolution of a day from dawn to dusk, and a product from inception to completion.
"As one of Australia’s leading furniture manufacturers, we have a deep connection to the design scene. When it came to our own workplace, we wanted to collaborate with the best emerging talent. In Mitch and his team, we saw the qualities that define the most exceptional design firms—relentless creativity, ambition, and a drive to push boundaries. Their only limitation right now is opportunity. Work with them, and you won’t look back."
Nick Garnham, Managing Director - Jardan
"It was essential to create spaces that allowed the intricacies of Jardan to function as effectively as possible. This required a totally unique solution and could never have been solved by a one size fits all approach.”
Mitchell Jones, Creative Director & Lead Strategist - Made For
“Our design for Jardan's new head office captures the brand's essence, utilizing natural light to tell their story, from their origins to their aspirations. Our design sees Jardan's operations consolidated under one roof for the first time, allowing them to guide visitors through a curated journey that showcases their process and creativity.”
