Walk The Plank Collective is an Australian furniture design company whose concept of easy living and wearable furniture was born in September 2011 through a culmination of experience and an eclectic aesthetic. The idea to create a casual and fun environment for life is where we draw our inspiration. Working with reclaimed and responsibly sourced materials, Walk The Plank represents a new beginning in the mindset of products manufactured in Indonesia. Working with communities and programs on a ground level to create change through reward.
A concept that is built on a responsible platform to improve the life of those involved at the beginning and lightens up the general day to day at its end. With our direct access and manufacturing capabilities, Walk The Plank Collective is focused on building and designing interior products that stand the test of time with style. With our bohemian edge and rustic charm, we strongly believe in the integrity of every product we make. With an understanding of international requirements and global trends, we carefully consider the manufacture and design process from its foundations through until its final form. Our goal is to create furniture that meets the needs of our global market while maintaining our commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing.
