The inspiration behind ‘From Paper to Prototype’ videos is to demonstrate the process of building commercial custom furniture while providing best practise tips to the industry to enhance furniture design, innovation, durability, function and comfort.

Prototype is committed to supporting the Australian manufacturing industry which is why manufacture most of their products in Australia.  From Paper to Prototype Videos are a great channel to show the craftsmanship and  skills of Australian carpenters, upholsterers and metal workers have and highlights the pride they take in producing high quality furniture to the finest detail.

Project Custom Ottoman is the first  video in the From paper  to Prototype series, where Prototype collaborated with Westfield designers and sourced local materials to build this custom ottoman.

Whether it be timber, metal or upholstery Prototype can make your ideas a reality too.

But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
