Sir Charles William “Bill” Feilden Hamilton OBE was a New Zealander who developed the modern jetboat. Hamilton never claimed to have invented the jet boat. He once said “I do not claim to have invented marine jet propulsion. The honour belongs to a gentleman named Archimedes, who lived some years ago.” What he did was refine the design enough to produce the first useful modern jet boat.

We have taken inspiration from the extremely hardwearing teak topsides of classic sail and jet boats, their angled edges and the exoskeleton like appearance they give to boats to give shape to the Hamilton collection structure.

HAMILTON LUX exclusively uses plantation teak wood - widely regarded as the best timber for outdoor use due to its longevity as seen in the boat building industry. Not all teak is created evenly, we hand select every panel of the nest grade teak only taking the most durable and clean panels. It is kiln dried to maximise moisture reduction and minimise movement in the timber. HAMILTON LUX is available in a traditional Natural finish premium teak, white and wenge aluminium, designed to give you a consistant finish for the lifetime of the product.

For over 45 years the Dawson family and our wonderful staff have been filling homes with designer furniture sourced from New Zealand and abroad. We travel extensively, collaborating with our manufacturing partners to ensure we bring the best value product we can find. Our philosophy is simple - to showcase great quality, honest furniture from brilliant craftspeople in a welcoming environment. 

How do we achieve this?

We are extremely lucky to have fostered strong relationships with renowned international furniture brands and designers including Molteni & C, Timothy Oulton, Dedon and Tribu. Buying directly from international suppliers enables us to remove the added layers of costs and complexity so we can pass the savings on to the consumer.

What is great quality?

We believe it is a fine balance of design and materials. That is why prior to adding any product collections we meet the artisans in their workshops and factories anywhere they manufacture around the world, which involves us spending up to 3 months a year travelling to Asia and Europe. All too often we have been shown cheaper items but they turn out to be inferior. All our staff are highly trained professionals who can tell you about our furniture in detail.
