Tait began in a small factory in Melbourne, Australia. Gordon, a sheet metal craftsman, and Susan, a creative textile designer, noticed an absence for well-designed, well-made outdoor products – both reflective of Australia’s enviable outdoor lifestyle and built to withstand the harsh Australian elements.
The Tait design philosophy is shaped by a strong manufacturing heritage, steeped in quality and craftsmanship. Each piece begins with an idea, a concept that is then refined and prototyped by Tait’s team of passionate craftspeople in their Melbourne factory.
Testament to twenty-five years of designing and making, Tait’s products demonstrate resolved sophistication in each facet of their design and manufacture. Surmounting this philosophy, the Tait ‘Makers Mark’ appears on each product, symbolising the quality and history of the piece, whilst revealing its authenticity.
Tait are committed to achieving best practice sustainability measures throughout all areas of their business. Taking an all-encompassing approach to sustainability, Tait seek to minimise their impact on the environment associated with the operations of the business whilst upholding ethical social responsibility.
Tait continually work towards improving their environmental performance, with the goal of working towards closed loop manufacturing operations. Image Credit: Tait
