Timber of Distinction by Havwoods Australia
Rooted in an unwavering legacy spanning nearly five decades, Havwoods curates a collection of more than 300 products – a testament to artistry, sophistication and an enduring commitment to transforming spaces with timber.
As a leading Australian specialist in high-end interior timber solutions, Havwoods intricately weaves tales of distinction through the timeless medium of timber. More than wood … it’s a journey into the world of craftsmanship. From the allure of engineered timber floors to the refined sophistication of timber veneers and panelling, Havwoods products transform each project into something distinctly bespoke.
At Havwoods, seasoned professionals create unique experiences, offering an immersive exploration in the company’s showrooms (in Brisbane, Melbourne, Newcastle and Sydney) or through virtual consultations. This team, armed with decades of industry wisdom, ensures an unparalleled customer journey that extends beyond timber to become an artful narrative, where each piece of timber tells a story of its own. “Our service is well known in the industry and has come about because of the long-standing ‘customer-first’ culture within Havwoods,” says Brent Calow, the company’s strategic accounts manager. “This, combined with the wealth of knowledge among the team, means our customers can be confident that they have the support and expertise needed for their projects.”
Intricately woven into this narrative is Havwoods’ Signature Collection, featuring a standout gem – Ancient Oak. Often referred to as bog oak, this timber embodies rarity, evolving over millennia in ancient forests. The planks, with widths ranging from 250 millimetres to 350 millimetres and lengths extending up to an impressive four metres, showcase the magnificence of ancient oak. This masterful timber invites a tangible connection to nature’s artistry and underscores Havwoods’ commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and unique and innovative products.
The essence of Havwoods unfolds through its storied projects, where timber seamlessly integrates into the canvas of each space – and creates ‘wow’ moments. Like the home in Potts Point in inner Sydney, which stands as a shining example of the interplay between tradition and modernity. The work of interior designer Tamsin Johnson, this residence exudes luxury, with Havwoods’ Antique Rustic Versailles timber flooring forming a timeless foundation for high-end fixtures and artworks. The Versailles, with its rich history and intricate detailing, brings a sense of heritage to contemporary spaces. Its warm hues and subtle textures reflect the mastery of Havwoods’ craftsmanship, harmonising with the opulent aesthetic envisioned by Tamsin.
In nearby Double Bay, Studio Prineas breathed new life into a 1990s interior, transforming it into a familial haven with experiential depth. The apartment, with its layered blackened cabinetry and reflective surfaces, embodies refined design and comfort. Studio Prineas evokes deep levels of sophistication in this project, where the choice of Pallido Character herringbone flooring from the Italian Collection integrates beautifully with the design vision, resulting in a space that captivates both aesthetically and functionally.
Havwoods doesn’t merely provide timber – it meticulously crafts stories of distinction, one plank at a time. The company’s commitment to excellence, sustainability and personalised service converges into a singular promise: “wood that works”, ready to unfold in diverse spaces. No matter your timber needs, Havwoods creates best-in-class solutions that are equally durable, functional and beautiful.
