Happy Valley.

Inspired by the natural surrounding of the Kangaroo Valley, south of Sydney, Anna Carin Design has created a calming oasis nestled in the rainforest.

The home owners wanted to incorporate their repurposed, vintage, and Australian made finds into their home, making our Upcycled Australian Made Block Handles a perfect fit for the project.

The custom Block Handles sit proud on beautiful custom side tables, elevating the beauty in the natural beauty of raw materials. The grains of American Oak adding a texture & warmth to the space.

Vibrant, Welcoming and Animalia were the 3 words that guided the design process.

The Making Of The Block Handles

Originally designed for the purpose of adding a finishing Touch to Stephan & Gian's Japandi home on the Block, the handles popularity soared, allowing them to officially join the TouchMade Collection from Touch Handles.

Hand Made in the Macedon Ranges & using upcycled timber, these handles represent what sits so importantly with us. Sustainability. Not just in the environment, but in our local community, supporting local craftsman right here in Australia.

A completely customisable approach gives you the freedom to put your own personal touch on each piece, from a unique size to a custom mixed stain, to perfectly align with your space and vision.

Our clients love animals and colour and wanted as much as possible to use repurposed, vintage finds and Australian made.
