Furniture-grade plywood, clean lines, and real durability — crafted for life in Aotearoa. PlyLab provides the Wellington region with sustainable furniture and kitchen design, manufacture and installation. Furniture grade plywood is the ideal material to add warmth and character to your spaces, turning a house into a home. It is the ideal material for high usage areas, wet areas and applications that require a build once, last forever approach. Kitchens, sculleries, book cases, laundries, vanities, entertainment units, we can help. We only use FSC certified, furniture grade plywood. Futura HPL is an 18mm/13 ply birch plywood with a German egger laminate that will outperform any MDF based product in sustainablity, durability and looks.

This kitchen was made for serious cooking.

Almost six metres of stainless steel benchtop, a large pantry, integrated spice storage and plenty of drawers give Fiona and Stuart room to prepare, cook and entertain without feeling restricted.

Everything is close at hand, but the kitchen still feels open and welcoming.

A hardworking space designed for people who genuinely love sharing food.

Why did we choose Joubert Gaboon plywood for this home?

Its rich brown tone works beautifully alongside the original Matai flooring, while the polyurethane finish protects the timber and highlights its natural grain.

Paired with stainless steel benchtops, the result feels warm, refined and distinctly New Zealand.

A European-made, marine-grade plywood selected for a Wellington home built to be enjoyed for years.

34 custom-made pieces. One beautifully connected home.

Fiona and Stuart’s Wellington project is one of the largest we’ve completed, featuring Joubert Gaboon plywood joinery throughout the kitchen, laundry and living spaces.

From the nearly four-metre island to more than six metres of stainless steel benchtop, every piece was designed specifically for the way this family lives, cooks and comes together.

This is what whole-home joinery can look like when every detail speaks the same language.

Back at Matt & Chani’s — this time, we’re looking at their custom PlyLab entertainment unit.

Designed to fit the space down to the last detail, with room for the TV, books, display pieces, and everyday storage.

The open side with softly rounded shelves keeps the unit feeling light, while the cupboards below keep everything practical and tucked away.

Simple, considered, and built for the way the space is actually used.

This is what a good vanity looks like.

A simple two-drawer design, made from furniture-grade birch plywood — no MDF.

The natural grain gives it warmth, while the protective face film and sealed polyurethane edges make it durable and well-suited for wet areas.

And in the toilet, a matching single-drawer vanity keeps the same clean, practical look.

Even in the smallest room, you still get a piece of PlyLab.

Who said the laundry has to be the most boring room in the house? 👀

A well-designed laundry can make everyday chores that little bit easier.

From clever storage and open shelving to spacious benchtops and custom cabinetry, it’s all about making the most of the space you have.

At PlyLab, we believe even the most practical rooms deserve thoughtful design, quality materials and a beautiful finish.

Not all cabinets are built to last. 👀

The difference is in the materials, construction and attention to detail.

From quality plywood to carefully considered joinery, every element plays a part in creating furniture that can handle everyday life without compromising on design.
At PlyLab, we believe good furniture shouldn’t just look great today. It should be built to stand the test of time.
