Justin Hutchinson is a Melbourne-based industrial designer, lecturer and urban innovator who is a firm believer in the positive value of design.

Justin’s experience with outdoor products and environmental design sparked his research into the duality between the manufactured and the natural environment — designing for longevity and ultimately trying to forge a way for the man-made to co-exist with the natural environment.

As Design Director of Urban Commons, a cross-disciplinary design consultancy committed to reviving the spirit of the commons in our urban spaces, he strives for considered urban solutions to high density living through technological and social innovation.

Established in 1992 by husband and wife, Gordon and Susan Tait, Tait began in a small factory in Melbourne, Australia. Gordon, a sheet metal craftsman, and Susan, a creative textile designer, noticed an absence for well-designed, well-made outdoor products – both reflective of Australia’s enviable outdoor lifestyle and built to withstand the harsh Australian elements.

All Tait pieces are made locally and come with a 5-year warranty.
