As regularly as possible the Cantilever Team wander out into the world and take some time to engage with our industry of makers, designers and manufacturers. This is where we share these experiences.

At Cantilever Interiors, we approach these projects with care and curiosity. Our clients have often lived in their homes for many years, decades even, and their connection to the space runs deep. Our role is to listen closely, respond thoughtfully and design kitchens that support evolving needs while honouring the home’s unique character.

At Cantilever, we’ve always believed in the value of making close to home. Our Brunswick East studio has been an anchor point for skilled local manufacturing and a strong creative community for over 20 years. Just around the corner, fellow Brunswick-based designer Ross Gardam shares that same commitment, making the perfect fit for our Local Like Us series.

Killer Merch are a screen printing business based in Coburg North. Cantilever were introduced to the Killer Merch crew through one of our team members. It was obvious upon visiting their workshop for the first time that we shared a similar culture and passion for both community and creativity. We immediately engaged them to print our Cantilever uniforms. The inner north has a long history in manufacturing and there is a sense of connection and pride in continuing that legacy.

The Cantilever team was recently involved in a community project, providing a network of nesting boxes for a newly developed parkland, along the train line in Northcote. A locally established group within the active Northcote community has worked tirelessly to develop what was once forgotten, overgrown, unusable land, into a lovely, rejuvenated, native garden and path, for the whole neighbourhood to enjoy. As part of this improvement, Cantilever built and installed 12 nesting boxes to attract native wildlife to the area.
