My name is Bryan Cush and my furniture business is Sawdust Bureau. I am a designer and maker of fine furniture based in Melbourne, Australia. I specialise in contemporary, free-standing furniture, either handcrafted in limited edition runs or fully bespoke, one-off pieces that are made entirely from sustainably sourced Australian native timbers. I’m primarily a solo maker but usually have one other maker interning with my business, both lending a hand and learning on the job.
