How I became a Fettler in 1964

How I became a Fettler in 1964

by Rob Bell

My name is Rob Bell, and I was born in East Bankstown (later Greenacre) in 1945, into a solid working-class family. By 1964, 5 years after leaving Punchbowl Boys High, I was requested by the local gendarmes to leave town. This was also issued to many of my friends who, like myself, travelled down the wrong roadway.

A friend who had been off the scene for a while was back in town and was going on about working on the railway as a fettler in a place called Burren Junction. Where the hell is B.J., we all cried, North West NSW, have you heard of Walgett? Well, it's this side of Walgett, and they are looking for workers.

So come Monday, we all troop down to Central Station (about 6 of us) for a medical and get the guts on this Fettler business. Being good, strong Aussie boys with an average age of around 20, we were in. Some of us were sent to Cryon and others to BJ.

Elevating Australian Homes: The Rise of Custom Furniture in Interior Design

Published on Friday, March 28, 2025

Elevating Australian Homes: The Rise of Custom Furniture in Interior Design

How Australians are embracing custom furniture to create sustainable, personalised spaces that reflect their lifestyle and values.

 

In the evolving world of home décor, Australian homeowners are embracing a powerful shift—one that moves away from mass-produced uniformity and celebrates personal style, sustainability, and craftsmanship. At the centre of this transformation is custom furniture, which has emerged as a key player in shaping modern, thoughtful interiors.

Why Personalised Furniture Is Gaining Ground

More than just a trend, the move toward custom furniture reflects a growing desire for interiors that reflect individual identity. Whether it’s a made-to-measure dining table for a uniquely shaped room or a sofa designed to fit the flow of an open-plan layout, bespoke solutions offer a level of intention and detail that off-the-shelf items rarely provide.

Homeowners are also becoming increasingly aware of environmental impacts. Rather than discarding and replacing, many are choosing to invest in fewer, higher-quality pieces that are built to last—a sentiment echoed in this Namoi News feature on sustainable living.

The Practical Perks of Custom Furniture

Custom furniture offers more than just aesthetic value. It brings a host of practical advantages, including:

  • Perfect fit: Tailored to suit the exact dimensions of a space, whether that’s a tight nook in a cottage or a sweeping open-plan room in a modern build.
     

  • Material choice: Select materials that align with your values—whether it’s reclaimed timber, local hardwoods like Jarrah, or fabrics that match your lifestyle.
     

  • Function-first design: From storage-savvy solutions to multi-purpose furniture for smaller homes, custom pieces can be designed to solve specific problems.
     

As highlighted in this Namoi News article about adapting homes to climate, choosing tailored materials and functional design elements plays a big role in creating homes that are both liveable and future-ready.

Custom Trends Making Waves in Australian Homes

Designers and makers across the country are responding to evolving homeowner tastes with creative, trend-forward custom furniture. Some notable trends include:

  • Sustainable elegance: Reclaimed wood, recycled metals, and low-VOC finishes are combining to deliver stylish yet sustainable outcomes.
     

  • Multi-functional minimalism: Fold-out desks, modular sofas, and clever storage are key features in urban homes where space is at a premium.
     

  • Mixed materials: Combining timber, steel, and natural fibres adds texture and balance to interiors, reflecting a layered, lived-in feel.
     

Celebrating Local Craftsmanship

Australian makers are playing a major role in redefining interior aesthetics by offering bespoke solutions with a local flair. One such name is Aliquantum, a Perth-based studio that crafts bespoke furniture designs using local timbers and stainless steel. Their pieces strike a balance between durability and elegance, showing how thoughtful craftsmanship can completely transform a space.

What sets these artisans apart is their focus on longevity—creating furniture that can withstand Australia’s diverse climate while maintaining its beauty for decades.

How to Get Started with Custom Furniture

Thinking of investing in custom pieces? Here’s how to begin:

  1. Understand your space: Take measurements, observe foot traffic, and identify what’s missing or not working.
     

  2. Clarify your style: Whether you lean coastal, industrial, or rustic chic, knowing your style helps in creating cohesive custom pieces.
     

  3. Collaborate with makers: Share mood boards, practical needs, and your vision. A good designer will guide you through the process and ensure a smooth journey from concept to delivery.
     

Final Thoughts

Custom furniture is no longer reserved for the elite. It’s become a considered choice for Australians seeking to reflect their values, enhance functionality, and support local craftsmanship. In doing so, they’re not just filling a home—they’re creating one.

As design becomes more personal, investing in quality, bespoke pieces may not just improve your home’s visual appeal—it may shape how you experience it every day.
