Overview

Torquil Fitch, Fitch Fine Furniture designer and maker, is a graduate of the acclaimed School For Wood at the Sturt Australian Contemporary Craft and Design Centre in Mittagong. Creating from his workshop in Moss Vale in Australia's Southern Highlands, Torquil’s love of furniture making and design was inspired by his childhood in Perthshire, Scotland. He grew up surrounded by elegant furniture from the Georgian period, and continues to find inspiration in the symmetry and proportion of furniture from that age. Widely travelled, Torquil later spent many years working in Turkey, Italy and France, as professional crew on luxury motor and sailing yachts. The graceful lines and angles of his bespoke furniture often harks back to these days. Whether it is the memory of sweeping industrial curves found aboard 50 metre super yachts, or the graceful arches of furniture from periods of history, Torquil finds inspiration in the worlds he has visited, and the world he inhabits today.
