A unique collection of furniture merging modern functionality and Indigenous traditions with deep cultural significance has debuted at Officeworks.

Stores across Australia now feature Yindi Manufacturing's Butchulla Collection, a range of locally-made chairs upholstered with unique, patterned fabrics and inspired by founder Ramone Close's deep family ties.

Each piece in the collection was made in Queensland and merged Indigenous traditions with the functionality required in modern workspaces.

The range of ergonomic chairs features a three-lever mechanism, moulded seat foam and Indigenous-made, under-seat plastic, and were upholstered by Brendan Ward-Anning.

Mr Ward-Anning, a Yidindji man from far north Queensland, began his career at Yindi Manufacturing as an apprentice and, after expressing a desire to develop his craft, was given an opportunity by Mr Close.

Now the company's managing director, Mr Ward-Anning helped bring the Officeworks collaboration to life through Indigenous-inspired patterns by visual artist and graphic designer Jedess Hudson, a descendant of the Ewamian and Western Yalanji people of North Queensland.

Each chair is a unique piece art, inspired by Ms Hudsons' ancestors, her people and the environment, with designs featuring bush tucker, flora and fauna, seasonal change, earth, wind, fire and other cultural elements.

"When we go onto Country and listen to the Earth, it provides us with so much room for inspiration," she said.

"It is not just me as an individual but thousands of years of culture that we translate, and hopefully others can feel it too."

Mr Close said the partnership with Officeworks was crucial to championing Indigenous businesses on the national stage.

The new YINDI range was now part of the People and Planet Positive range at Officeworks, which encouraged customers to make sustainable purchases and includes recycled content, wooden materials, certified cotton and other Indigenous designs and products from several First Nations artists and businesses.

Mr Close said Yindi Manufacturing was deeply committed to the socio-economic advancement of First Nations communities and the power of collaboration and sustainable practices to drive meaningful operations and outcomes.

"The journey to our partnership started with a thought and a dream to have a chair in Officeworks and here I am two years later," he said on Thursday.

"We are not just building chairs, we are sharing culture."

Mr Close was particularly proud of the Yindi Butchulla Collection because it was inspired by his Aunty Jeannie Bell.

"She was a community linguist and warrior, and she collated the Butchulla language, so I wanted to carry on her legacy educating First Nations and non-First Nations people of the Aboriginal language through office furniture," he said.

As a majority Indigenous-owned company, Yindi Manufacturing fosters economic growth and empowerment in Indigenous communities by employing Aboriginal talent, and further developing and empowering mob with tangible new skills.

Mr Ward-Anning's ascension to managing director was indicative of Mr Close's deep commitment to the socio-economic advancement of Indigenous communities.

Mr Hudson, a descendant of the Ewamian and Western Yalanji people of North Queensland, was another.

His Officework chair designs highlight a rich cultural heritage and evoke Country in everyday workspaces across Australia.

Officeworks said its Butchulla Collection range was available exclusively online and reinforced the retailer's commitment to sharing the knowledge of Indigenous culture and local businesses with more consumers and new markets.

"We recognise the important role we play in the lives of our team members and in the local communities where we live and work," said Fiona Lawrie, Officeworks head of sustainability, product safety and corporate affairs.

"By integrating collaborations such as our partnership with Yindi Manufacturing into our operations and decision-making processes, we aim to foster a greater understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, customs, and culture, while enabling our customers to have access to products that promote Indigenous businesses and traditions.

"We are immensely proud of our partnership with Yindi and look forward to continuing to see it grow even further."

The Officeworks x YINDI partnership will strengthen later this year when a vibrant new range of First Nations designs and fabric by the Dream Weave Collective are released.
