CREATIVE BY NATURE
Damian Berrili first honed his eye for detail and precision after spending 13 years of making high-end world class billiard tables. During this time, he mastered a range of skills, including wood machining/joinery, upholstery, and French polishing.
Damian is an inquisitive and ever-evolving designer and maker, constantly exploring new materials, techniques, and workflows to maintain motivation and push creative boundaries. Driven by a deep curiosity about the intersection of design, functionality, and craftsmanship, Damian blends digital precision with hands-on processes to create works that are as diverse as they are innovative.
After a number of years learning tools like AutoCAD, Damian leverages the power of digital design to conceptualize and refine ideas. However he prefers the more hands on processes of sculpting, mold making, and working with materials like clay, metals, resins, and more.
From sculptures to one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, Damian is always searching for ways to fuse materials and techniques in fresh, unexpected ways—questioning what works, what doesn’t, and what could be.
This blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology fuels Damian's ongoing exploration of the art of creation, where curiosity meets ingenuity.
What sets me apart is the ability to both design and execute. Using powerful CAD software, I'll transform your ideas into a detailed digital model, giving you the luxury of seeing your future piece before it's even crafted. This ensures the final product is exactly what you envisioned, with every detail approved by you.

Quality finishes
The final finish is a critical part of every project, and I don't compromise on quality. I use a professional spray booth to apply robust, high-performance coatings, consisting of resin and automotive 2pac polyurethane. This isn't a quick wipe-on job; it's a meticulous process that results in a hard, durable finish that will protect your piece for years with minimal maintenance.
Many woodworkers opt for popular waxes and oils because they're easy to apply and inexpensive, but they lack real durability and require constant reapplication. My finishing process ensures your piece is truly protected, giving you a beautiful and long-lasting result that you won't have to worry about.
Custom Metal Fabrication
I find the combination of wood and metal to be an ideal marriage of elements, with their contrasting textures and tones complementing each other beautifully. For my work, I favor aluminum and copper because of their excellent workability and the variety of stunning finishes that can be achieved. I personally handle all of the aluminum fabrication, which allows me to maintain complete control over the quality and precision of every piece.
CNC Cutting / Engraving and slab leveling
My slab master has 4m long x 1.7m wide leveling capacity, will level any warped or rough sawn timber slabs and sand.
With a 2400 x 1200 full bed cnc machine.
I can bring auto-cad ideas to life.
Custom resin work
've spent the countless years mastering the art of resin, learning its behavior and unlocking its endless potential. My passion lies in fusing its versatility with the organic shapes of wood, creating pieces that are truly unique. I'm constantly exploring new ways to use this material, ensuring every project pushes the boundaries of what's possible.
