Luke Atkins & Veronica Paiva, Christopher Blank (Studio Furniture 2018)

Christopher Blank like to keep it pretty simple. They’re a Melbourne-made, custom-design studio dedicated to creating furniture and homewares from sustainably sourced timber. Honouring the integrity of the materials they use is key to CB’s philosophy; design and proportion first, and function built to last. Furniture maker Luke (Christopher) Atkins and designer Veronica (……….) Paiva are obsessed with timber; the way it looks, the way it feels and how it ultimately makes your house a home. Christopher Blank was born from a collective passion to produce quality, handmade pieces as a team; furniture made with their minds and hands that would play a useful part in the chaos of everyday life. Luke’s background is in carpentry – his meticulous attention to detail was honed while specialising in restoration and heritage homes. Veronica has worked in design and visual merchandising with global luxury brands for over sixteen years. Christopher Blank believe design need not compromise function; whether it’s a dining table that serves up impassioned discussions, or an armchair that you can pull up to beat your grandma at bridge, CB want you to have both.
