What we do here at Lyptil Designs
Lyptil Designs is an Australian design and fabrication studio creating custom furniture, sculptural objects, sound system projects and architectural pieces that sit between art, function and space. Founded by designer and maker Shannon McNaught, the studio focuses on thoughtful, site-specific work that connects people to place through natural materials, geometry, sound and refined craftsmanship.
Working across furniture, lighting, interiors, public art, custom audio projects and bespoke commissions, Lyptil Designs combines traditional and digital design processes with hands-on fabrication to create pieces that feel grounded, timeless and deeply considered. Drawing from influences in architecture, landscape, engineering, music culture and nature, each project is approached as an opportunity to create something meaningful, whether it’s a sculptural centrepiece, a handcrafted sound system, a functional object or a large-scale installation designed to shape the atmosphere of a space.
Using tools such as 3D modelling, CNC machining and traditional fabrication methods, the studio bridges modern technology with tactile making processes. The result is work that balances precision with warmth, structure with flow, and durability with emotion.
At its core, Lyptil Designs is about creating forms shaped by life: pieces, spaces and experiences that people connect with, live alongside and ultimately cherish for years to come.
