Our story
Master craftsman and furniture-maker Antonio (Tony) Mercorella has devoted his life's work to creating exquisite objects with integrity. As an Australian-born son of migrant parents from San Giorgio La Molara, Italy, Tony's work is steeped in traditions of determination, attention to detail, and a passion for quality.
We are proud that each of our choices is handmade.
Tony’s formative training honed his cabinet making skills, building his first kitchen in his parents' shed. Together with wife Judith, Tony established Benjamin Cabinet and Joinery in Newton, South Australia in 1976.
Precision is our hallmark
Every piece is tailored to fit seamlessly into its designated space, using only the finest materials available.
After many years creating custom joinery for family homes and commercial clients, Tony followed a desire to create more than 'square boxes’. Inspired to conceptualise bespoke pieces, Tony experimented beyond usual boundaries of cabinetmaking, introducing curved lines and unconventional construction.
A passion for creating original, functional timber pieces founded Benjamin Timber Studio, trading Australia-wide since 2000.
