The Makers: Al & Imo Roberts are the creative force behind their eponymous studio, Al & Imo. Based in Freshwater Creek, Victoria, they craft bespoke, handcrafted furniture and objects. Drawing inspiration from their natural surroundings, their pieces showcase a deep respect for materiality, with an emphasis on ethically and sustainably sourced timber. Al & Imo’s work transcends functionality, each creation imbued with artistry and designed to enrich the spaces they inhabit.
"I've got goosebumps thinking about us making the rocking chair and the cot when I was pregnant. My memories are all based around us building things for ourselves. We constantly just make things that we need for ourselves, and then we're starting to offer more of those products to our customers as well. Good design attracts good people. Good people attracts good design. And then you just end up surrounded by lovely things and lovely people."
