Let's create something beautiful together.
Cober Studio
Founded in 2022, we specialise in premium furniture, bespoke wardrobes and custom joinery for residential projects and boutique developments. We work closely with clients, architects and interior designers to create refined, functional pieces tailored to each space.
Designed in Melbourne and made in Australia and Europe, our pieces are crafted using carefully selected materials, premium European hardware and finishes exclusively imported by us, combined with high-quality locally sourced materials.
Our Mission and Values
At Cober Studio, our mission is to create beautiful, functional interiors through thoughtfully designed furniture and bespoke joinery that stand the test of time.
We combine considered design, quality craftsmanship, and responsible production to enhance the way people live, while making a positive impact on our planet and society.
Design with Purpose
We believe great design is more than aesthetics. Every piece we create is driven by function and longevity, resulting in interiors that feel refined, practical, and timeless.
Quality & Craftsmanship
From material selection to finishing details, we are committed to exceptional quality. Our products are designed in Melbourne and made in Australia and Europe.
Sustainability & Responsibility
We design with the future in mind. By choosing sustainably sourced materials, reducing waste, and prioritising long-lasting solutions, we aim to minimise environmental impact and promote conscious living.
Client-Centred Collaboration
Every project is a partnership. We work closely with our clients, architects, and designers to deliver tailored solutions that respond to individual needs, spaces, and lifestyles.
Integrity & Transparency
We value honesty, clarity, and accountability in everything we do. From materials and production to timelines and communication.
Positive Social Impact
Cober Studio was founded with a purpose beyond business. We actively support selected social initiatives and believe in contributing to communities and causes that create meaningful change.
Christian Obereigner
Christian found happiness in his father’s workshop from a young age when other kids played soccer; he explored and got inspired by beautiful furniture and objects as a young boy.
Growing up at the foothills of the Austrian alps, where small and larger furniture-making companies are as common as good coffee shops in Melbourne, Christian studied furniture design, interior design and premium furniture production with all its aspects and details.
In his fast-moving career, he had the opportunity to work on residential and commercial projects across central Europe. In 2016, Christian decided to move to Australia, where he first settled in Sydney to join the growing team of an aspiring premium furniture retail and interior design studio and later moved to Melbourne to launch the business in Victoria showcasing major Italian furniture brands.
After 6 rewarding years, it was time to start his own business, doing what he loves doing, but this time in a slightly different way, adding sustainability and social responsibility as cornerstones to the business.
Cober Studio was born!
His modern designs and approaches are influenced by the rich culture of Vienna, the Austrian proximity to Italy, and have a touch of Australian coolness.
Sustainability
We make timeless, beautiful and sustainable products. Designed and produced to last with a reduced environmental impact, considering all elements of a sustainable furniture production.
Smart Design: our wardrobes are designed to be adjustable if your requirements should change over time. Elements can be added, moved or removed without damaging the structure. In case you are planning bigger works - all systems are developed in a way so they can be disassembled and reassembled without damaging the product.
Made to last: furniture and wardrobes are produced from high quality materials and are meant to last.
Sustainable Materials: materials for our products are sustainable sourced and depending on the type of material have one or more of the following certification: FSC, PEFC, UNI EN ISO 9001:2015, UNI EN ISO 3834, UNI EN 1090:2009,
Reducing shipments: Our wardrobes are produced with our partners in Australia and Europe to reduce the overall volume of shipments. Special hardware, profiles and other elements which are not available in Australia are pre-fabricated in Europe and assembled in Australia to keep the volume of shipments to a minimum. All larger components are usually produced locally.
The offset of required shipments: All international and domestic shipments are carbon offset; with the carbon offset, we currently support following projects:
Mangrove planting in Madagascar
Wind power project in South Africa
Solar Power project in Vietnam
Packaging & Minimal Waste: Packaging is kept at a minimum and is mainly made from cardboard. Unavoidable waste is separated and recycled.
Let's help others
In 2008, Christian lived and volunteered for one year in Ust-Chorna, Ukraine. A small village in a romantic location in the middle of the Carpathian Mountains. The location might be scenic, however, unfortunately, the place struggles heavily due to its remoteness and a damaged infrastructure from a major flood in 1998, which still couldn’t be repaired due to the lack of funds.
Not knowing what to expect, it became a life-altering experience for Christian. The bighearted and generous Ukrainian hospitality and appreciation for the little things made up for the countless inconveniences and challenging moments. And with the great local support many projects could be planned and completed in one year.
After years on focusing on his career, it was time again to give something back, and when writing the vision statement, it was clear that Cober Studio should become a role model and make social responsibility one of the cornerstones of the business.
With our responsible management, we help to create a better society and support selected aid projects around the world. To help create more awareness, we keep a personal relationship with the organisations managing the projects and share their stories.
