Boyd Collection, a K5 Furniture exclusive, reinterprets the designs of mid-century Australian architect, Robin Boyd. A furniture collection consisting of a sofa, lounge chair, coffee table and dining table as designed by Boyd for the Domain Park apartments and residence at Walsh Street, in Melbourne.

Robin Boyd, an Australian architect known for his advocacy of affordable and functional modernist homes, gained international recognition in the mid 20th century. He focused on the art of architecture and architectural discourse, highlighting the importance of rational planning, the use of available local materials and optimal building orientation.

This attention to detail and selection of materials imbues each piece with the inherent appeal of finely crafted furniture. By faithfully adhering to Robin Boyd’s original specifications and material choices, K5 Furniture strives to express the creativity and versatility of Boyd’s work.
