Eighteen years in timber. Four art prizes.
Luke Neil started in carpentry under the name Coolhand Carpentry in 2008. Over the
years the work shifted from structural to something that blurs the line between
joinery and sculpture. That shift shows up in four open-entry art prizes won across
Luke's career · the Wyndham City Art Prize, the Wyndham Station Sculpture Prize,
Sculptures by the Sea, and the Rainbow Serpent Festival.
Today the studio operates from a showroom and workshop at 394 Victoria St, Brunswick.
We produce custom timber joinery for kitchen and bathroom renovations, furniture for
residential and commercial spaces, and sculptural timber lighting for interior
fit-outs. Most commissions come from interior designers, architects, and builders
who need a reliable, detail-oriented maker they can brief once and trust to deliver.
Luke prides himself on being flexible and adaptive, to find solutions for a broad
range of projects. Every piece that takes shape here reflects a distinct design
sensibility and precise attention to detail, which are the hallmark of Luke's work.
There are artists that create beautiful art, and then there are artists who redefine what art can be.
