Outside Assembly - Australian Industrial Designers

Natural Retreat - An urban parkland for adventure, discovery and reconnection.

With over 20 years of experience in urban design, we understand the importance of ego-free collaboration across the entire project lifespan from design to delivery.

An array of adaptable configurations that cater to any public space.

Whether it’s shooting a basketball or dancing on the hips - The form of Hoops holds a unique charm.

Designers, thinkers, collaborators.

Creativity is simply putting things together in a unique way. And that’s what we do. Whether it’s our collaborative design process, local manufacture and supply, or people interacting in our built environments, we are all driven by one vision - Come Together.

Where form meets function and your butt meets chair.

We design without ego. As genuine collaborators, we truly believe that innovative design outcomes can only be achieved through open communication, a humble attitude, and a willingness to adapt.

Maintaining a holistic commitment to the end vision, our design philosophy is led by our passion for quality and a desire to improve the end-user experience.

Where form meets function and your butt meets chair.

Conscious decisions
will save our planet.

At Outside Assembly we are committed to ethical design practices and outcomes. We focus on utilising sustainably produced and recycled materials, and natural or non-toxic finishes that produce durable and long-lasting solutions.
‍
We are also passionate about supporting the locals. In fact, everything we design is manufactured in Australia, minimising supply miles and reducing our environmental impact.

When great minds come together, anything is possible.

Outside Assembly is a team of Industrial Designers who thrive on collaborative problem solving. Working alongside the project team, they develop innovative solutions that enhance the places where people come together - the built environment.
