Individually Crafted. Designed Around You.
Every home has its own personality, and we believe the furniture and artwork within it should reflect that individuality. Rather than producing mass-manufactured pieces, we design and handcraft bespoke furniture and functional artworks that are tailored to your style, your home and the way you live.
Whether you have a clear vision or simply an idea waiting to be developed, we work closely with you to transform your concept into something practical, distinctive and built to last. Every commission is different because every client, every space and every story is different.
From elegant indoor furniture through to striking outdoor sculptures, each project is approached with creativity, craftsmanship and careful attention to detail.
Handcrafted in Murrumbateman
Metal Wood & Things was founded on a passion for creating handcrafted pieces that stand apart from mass-produced furniture and décor.
Working from our workshop in Murrumbateman, we proudly create bespoke furniture and custom artworks using Australian craftsmanship and carefully selected materials. Every piece is individually handcrafted, allowing us to deliver designs that cannot be replicated by factory production.
Our commitment is simple. We create functional artworks that combine beauty with purpose while reflecting the individuality of every client who commissions us.
Meet Matthew Harvie
Owner, sculptor and master craftsman Matthew Harvie brings more than 30 years of creative experience to every project.
Throughout his career, Matthew has developed an extensive range of skills across timber, metal, stone, epoxy, glass and reclaimed materials. His ability to combine traditional craftsmanship with artistic creativity allows him to design and build pieces that are both practical and visually striking.

Many commissions also require custom-built tools or specialised fabrication techniques, demonstrating the depth of craftsmanship involved in every project.
Bespoke Furniture Designed for Your Home
Furniture should do more than fill a space. It should become part of the way you live.
We create custom furniture designed specifically for your home, ensuring every piece complements your existing décor while providing lasting functionality. Whether you're furnishing a new home or searching for a statement piece that simply cannot be purchased elsewhere, we work with you to develop furniture that reflects your personal style.
Our custom furniture includes:
Every piece is individually handcrafted using carefully selected materials and finishes chosen to complement your home's interior.
Functional Art That Makes a Statement
At Metal Wood & Things, we believe artwork can also serve a purpose.
Our functional artworks combine artistic creativity with everyday practicality, creating unique pieces that become conversation starters while remaining useful within your home or outdoor living space.
Whether it's a handcrafted dining table that becomes the centrepiece of family gatherings or a sculptural privacy screen that transforms your outdoor entertaining area, every creation balances aesthetics with functionality.
No two pieces are ever identical because every project is individually designed and handcrafted.
Working With Timber, Metal & More
While timber remains one of our favourite materials, creativity is never limited to a single medium.
The Metal Wood & Things name reflects the broad range of materials we incorporate into our work, including:
Many projects combine multiple materials to create striking contrasts, unique textures and visually engaging designs that cannot be achieved using a single material alone.
Matthew's artistic background has also developed a strong appreciation for reclaimed and recycled materials, allowing many pieces to celebrate the natural beauty and history already contained within the materials themselves.

Our indoor creations are designed to enhance the comfort, style and individuality of your home.
From handcrafted furniture through to bespoke serving boards, decorative bowls and commercial signage, every project is created with the same commitment to craftsmanship and quality.

Each creation is designed to complement your home or business while reflecting your personal style.

Whether you're creating an entertaining area, improving privacy or looking for a unique sculptural feature, we work with you to create something that complements your landscape and surrounding architecture.
Memorial & Memorabilia Boxes
Some projects carry special meaning.
We create handcrafted memorial and memorabilia boxes designed to respectfully honour loved ones and preserve treasured memories.
Every memorial box is developed in close consultation with our clients, ensuring each piece reflects the life, personality and memories of the person it represents.
These highly personalised commissions are created with compassion, respect and exceptional attention to detail.
A Personalised Design Consultation
Every custom project begins with a conversation.
If you're unsure exactly what you want or simply have ideas that are difficult to put into words, our design consultation helps bring those ideas together.
Where possible, we prefer to meet at your property. Visiting your home allows us to understand your existing furnishings, artwork, colour palette and architectural style while gaining a better appreciation of how your new piece will integrate into the space.
During the consultation we discuss design concepts, materials, finishes and practical requirements before developing a solution tailored specifically to your home.
Our personalised process also includes access to our in-house interior design expertise, helping ensure your completed piece complements your existing décor while maintaining balance throughout the space.
Built Around Your Vision
No two projects begin the same way.
Some clients approach us with detailed sketches while others simply know they want something unique that cannot be found in a furniture showroom.
We enjoy collaborating with our clients throughout the design journey, refining ideas, selecting materials and creating pieces that exceed expectations.
Our creative process remains flexible because inspiration often develops throughout the build itself. This organic approach allows every commission to evolve naturally while remaining focused on your original vision.
The result is furniture and functional artwork that feels genuinely personal and completely individual.
