While the visual appeal and style of your home is important, it is easy to forget the very practical function of the kitchen as a space to prepare meals and gather with family and friends. At Harp Furniture, proprietor and master craftsman Damian Harpantidis spends much of his time outlining the importance of balancing style and functionality.

From his small atelier in Melbourne’s inner suburbs, the passionate furniture-maker is committed to every commission. Personally working on all aspects of each project, Harpantidis also designs and creates customised fittings for specialised joinery for his clients, which is further testament to his commitment to quality.

Harp Furniture handles only a handful of commissions each year to ensure each is completed with as much attention to detail as possible. The latest product, which has recently been commercialised through newly- established Harp Industries, has successfully been embraced by leading manufacturers and is fast becoming an expected addition to every residential kitchen with a dishwasher. The new product is a solution to the issues surrounding open kickboard cavities in food preparation areas, and will keep any nasty pests at bay. Pest Block is exclusively distributed by Lincoln Sentry and helps ensure compliance when installed as seen on the website.
