44: A Crafted Life: How Nick McDonald Built Made By Morgen

From humble beginnings tinkering with furniture in an old warehouse apartment in North Melbourne, Nick McDonald left his career in the construction industry to forge a new path in furniture design.

Inspired by a love of Danish design and the craft of sustainable furniture making Nick gradually gathered a team of specialist craftsman around him to build the business Made By Morgen. 

In this episode, I sit down with Nick to chat about the values that drive the business today - how staying small and staying true to the ethos of quality craftsmanship and longevity have seen big opportunities open up for the Melbourne-based studio. 

Nick’s story offers us valuable insights into:

• The power of collaboration
• The beauty of natural materials and traditional production methods in furniture making
• The power of the handcrafted to comfort, surprise and inspire joy
