During the past five years Tim Whiteman has developed a distinctive and exciting design practice focusing on the production of timber products. Operating from the Midland Atelier, Tim is reconnecting with his family’s pioneering family history in the Midland Region. Many of his pieces “tell a story” referencing his life in Western Australia and featuring landscape influences.

His ‘Cache Series’ reinterprets the concept of the popular gift item, the timber box. Created from an exploration of the contrasts in nature, the series is influenced by the leaves of the eucalypt trees found in the forests of Western Australia. Each piece is individually hand crafted and finished. For Tim, the pieces have evolved to represent growth and change. With almost two decades of design experience, Tim’s work is influenced by graphics, unique forms and an eye-catching use of colour. He is intrigued by the repetition of forms and shapes, creating layers, links and patterns. These elements combine strikingly in the custom designed architectural door series produced in conjunction with Malcolm Harris.

Recently, Whiteman has just introduced PROTEA – a striking new
lighting design range. (Pictured right).
