A love for all things French vintage
Rekindle Design Co. was born after founders Lena and Hendrik returned to Australia in 2019 after living in Europe for over a decade. During their time abroad they fell in love with the abundance of beautiful, vintage wares available at markets and from second-hand dealers across Europe.
With the dream of bringing some of these beautiful designs to the Australian market, a few sketches were penned and not long after they ordered their first sample collection.. and so began the journey of Rekindle Design Co.!
For your peace of mind
Quality craftsmanship
In an era where "fast furniture" is increasingly prevalent, we aim to contribute to the solution by advocating for mindful consumption, urging consumers to select with care and invest in pieces they will love for a lifetime.
At Rekindle Design Co. each piece is crafted with the intention it will outlast the lifetime of it's first owner. Using only solid timber means that in years to come our pieces can be passed down and lovingly restored by future generations.
French inspired
Australian designed
Each design within our furniture collections is uniquely exclusive to Rekindle Design Co.
Inspired by the timeless charm of French vintage classics, each piece is crafted through our thoughtful design process on the Sunshine Coast and brought to life in small batches by our skilled woodworking teams based in Vietnam.

Unique pieces
Finding well-crafted, unique furniture at an affordable price can be a challenging endeavor in Australia.
So many chain stores stock mass-produced, sub-par quality products you see over and over. Our design approach spans several months, with a focus on intricate details that render each design distinctive and conversation-worthy within your home.
