Urban Archive

Reclaim / Repurpose / Reinvent —
Steel, decorative metals + timber

Co founded by Blake Stead and Kelly Ross, Urban Archive, was born from appreciation for recycled, discarded and raw materials, inventive design and authentic objects of beauty.

Based in a steel fabrication warehouse in Arncliffe Sydney meant direct access to a unique network of materials and resources, UA was a study in material exploration and unexpected possibilities to source, repurpose and transform waste and raw materials in unique ways.

When we couldn’t find what we were looking for, we made it.

Projects include Winnings appliances, The Society Inc St Peters, The ShipHouse, Restaurants, bars, a warehouse conversion and a design school campus to name a few.

Products include Hardware, cladding, flooring, outdoor showers, shelving, barn doors, stable doors, bar fronts, steel framed windows, staircases and furniture.
