About us
Fox & Wedge Vintage:
A Love for Mid-Century Design, A Belief in a Beautiful Home.
Based in our Torquay studio, on the beautiful lands of the Wadawurrung people, Fox & Wedge Vintage is a local family business born from a lifelong passion. We source, restore, and curate exceptional Mid-Century Modern (MCM), retro, and vintage furniture, driven by a deep love for the era's timeless design, clean lines, and connection to organic materials.
Our journey began with a simple yet powerful belief: that iconic design shouldn't be confined to galleries or collectors' homes — it should be lived with and loved.
Our Philosophy: Lasting Design Over Fast Furniture
In a world saturated with disposable "fast furniture," we champion an alternative: design that lasts for generations. There's an incredible honesty to vintage furniture; it was designed for people – for living, for families, and for comfort.
At Fox & Wedge, we believe that the most beautiful objects are not new, but renewed. We are curators of history, dedicated to seeking out furniture and décor with exceptional character, timeless design, and a story to tell. Our collection is not merely an assortment of vintage items; it is a carefully selected gallery of hand-picked pieces, each chosen for its superior craftsmanship and potential for a new life.
Beyond the Furniture: Our Partnership with Greenfleet
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the pieces themselves. For every piece of furniture that finds a new home, we proudly partner with Greenfleet to plant a native tree right here in Victoria. This tangible action helps to restore our local ecosystems, combatting the waste created by the fast furniture industry and ensuring a greener future.
Our Restoration Promise: Meticulous and Mindful
Every piece that enters our collection undergoes careful, expert restoration in our Torquay studio. We see ourselves as custodians of these timeless designs, and our process is a delicate balance of preservation and renewal.
Honouring the Original Vision:
We work to preserve the true soul of each piece, ensuring our restorations enhance – never erase – its unique character and rich history.
This is where our expertise truly shines. Restoration is a delicate art, a conversation between the past and the present. Our process is meticulous and respectful, focusing on reviving, not replacing. We carefully disassemble, clean, and strengthen each component. Joints are secured, veneers are painstakingly repaired, and surfaces are brought back to life using traditional techniques and premium finishes that honour the piece's original era.
Conscious Materials:
We meticulously select premium, non-toxic oils, waxes, and finishes, with a strong preference for natural options.
This commitment ensures the result is beautiful without compromise to your home, your family, or the environment.
Revive for Another Lifetime:
We restore for both enduring beauty and lasting durability. The result is a piece of furniture that is not only visually stunning but is also structurally sound and ready to be a functional, cherished centrepiece in your home for generations to come.
Soul in Every Piece
There's an irreplaceable feeling that comes with vintage design – the subtle marks of a life well-lived, the rich warmth of aged teak, the undeniable soul of an object that has journeyed through time. For us, the clean, functional beauty of Danish and Scandinavian modernism isn't just an aesthetic; it's a way to create calm, uncluttered spaces that feel both inspiring and grounding.
Our passion is finding these authentic designer pieces and giving them a new chapter in a modern home. We invite you to explore the stories held within our collection, and hope you discover the perfect piece to enrich your home with character and soul.
