The Cape Riche Marri Collection: Sustainably Sourced, Artisan Finished
There is something deeply grounding about bringing nature into the home - especially when it comes in the form of timber shaped by time, landscape and story. The Cape Riche Marri Collection is a tribute to Western Australia’s natural beauty, crafted from one of the region’s most distinctive native hardwoods. Rich in tone, character and authenticity, this collection is designed for homes that value substance, story and enduring style.
At the heart of Cape Riche is Marri timber - a premium Western Australian hardwood celebrated for its strength, durability and unmistakable visual character. Defined by warm golden-honey hues and dramatic dark gum veins, Marri offers a raw, organic beauty that cannot be replicated. Each piece in the Cape Riche collection is entirely unique, shaped by nature and finished by hand to honour the timber’s original form.
The Beauty of Marri Timber
Marri timber is prized not only for its visual depth, but for its integrity. Naturally strong and hard-wearing, it has long been used in quality furniture designed to last for generations. One of its most defining features is the presence of dark gum veins, which form naturally as the tree grows. Over time, these veins may subtly crack or shift as the timber expands and contracts - this is not a flaw, but a mark of authenticity.
These natural movements are expected to evolve and develop, enhancing the individuality of each piece and reinforcing the idea that this is living material, not manufactured perfection. When cared for correctly and used indoors, Marri timber becomes more beautiful with age, developing a patina that reflects a life well lived.
Crafted by Nature, Finished by Hand
Every piece in the Cape Riche Marri Collection is carved from solid Marri timber, sustainably sourced within Western Australia. Live edges are preserved wherever possible, allowing the natural contours, knots and grain patterns of the original tree to remain visible. No two pieces are ever the same - each table, sideboard or console carries its own story, its own history, and its own character.
Artisan finishing enhances the timber’s natural warmth while protecting its surface for everyday living. Designed exclusively for indoor use, Cape Riche pieces should be kept away from extreme temperatures, moisture and direct sunlight to preserve their beauty over time.
The Cape Riche Marri Dining Table
The centrepiece of the collection is the Cape Riche Marri Dining Table - a breath-taking statement piece that anchors the home. With its rich golden-honey tones, striking dark gum veins and organically sculpted live edges, this table transforms dining into an experience.
Generously proportioned and inherently inviting, it is designed to host long lunches, intimate dinners and everyday moments alike. More than furniture, it’s an investment piece destined to become the heart of your entertaining space.
Storage Elevated: Sideboards, Dressers & Entertainment
For large-scale functionality with refined presence, the Cape Riche Marri Sideboard offers substantial storage without compromising on beauty. Perfect for anchoring a long wall, displaying ceramics or storing dinnerware, its expansive form showcases the timber’s natural patterning in full effect.
In the bedroom, the Cape Riche Marri Dresser brings warmth and calm to your private sanctuary. Deep drawers offer generous storage, while the solid Marri construction ensures durability and timeless appeal - designed to be lived with, not replaced.
The Cape Riche Marri Entertainment Unit continues this balance of beauty and practicality. With ample storage for devices and media, it creates a grounding focal point for living spaces, elevating the everyday rituals of rest and relaxation.
Living & Entryway Accents
In shared living spaces, the Cape Riche Marri Coffee Table commands attention. Each live-edge slab is a one-of-a-kind centrepiece, celebrating the imperfect beauty of raw timber and bringing depth and texture to the room.
Complementing this, the Cape Riche Marri End Table offers versatility and subtle impact - perfect beside a lounge or reading chair, where form and function meet effortlessly.
For entryways and hallways, the Cape Riche Marri Hall Table provides a refined first impression. Slender in profile yet rich in character, it offers the perfect surface for styling, keys and everyday essentials, setting the tone for the home beyond.
Styling Cape Riche
When styling Marri timber, less is truly more. Its rich grain and natural gum veins are best complemented by thoughtful restraint - allowing the timber to remain the hero. We recommend pairing Cape Riche pieces with handcrafted ceramics, sculptural vases, and minimal stems to create balance and visual calm. Soft, earthy tones - think warm whites, clay, sand and stone - enhance Marri’s golden-honey hues without competing for attention. For contrast, introduce a sculptural black vase or accent piece; its depth anchors the look and adds a contemporary edge without overpowering the natural warmth of the timber. Opt for organic forms over ornate details, and let texture lead. The result is a space that feels grounded, modern, and effortlessly refined.
A Collection Designed to Last
The Cape Riche Marri Collection is more than a furniture range - it’s a reflection of place, material and mindful design. Crafted from Western Australian timber and finished with respect for its natural form, these pieces embrace variation, imperfection and longevity.
For homes that value authenticity, quality and quiet luxury, Cape Riche offers furniture that tells a story - one that will continue to unfold over time. Thoughtfully designed, beautifully crafted, and made to be lived with, this is an investment in both your home and the landscape that inspired it.
