Meg Dortmans and the Ada Chair

What is your background?

Designed by Meg Dortmans, Year 2 Industrial Design student from Western Sydney University, and brought to life by our production specialists.

Every Maxton Fox project starts with a conversation — about how a space will be used, who will use it and how it should feel.

Where do you get your inspiration?

From the materials themselves: timber, textiles and the craft of the people who shape them in our Western Sydney factory.

The challenges

Balancing comfort, durability and sustainability while keeping every detail true to the original design intent.

“By investing into relationships, being collaborative team players, and following through on our promises, our mission is to make process easy for our audience.”
Group CEO Hamish Stevens

Work with Maxton Fox

Our story begins with making. A family business built on craft, shaped over generations, and grounded in a simple belief: that how something is made matters.
