Every table tells a story.
Here’s a little bit of ours.
The table is where life happens – over weeknight pasta, quiet moments, lively conversations over spilled wine and the kind of chaos that becomes the signature of a night well spent.
To us, tableware is more than what you serve with; it’s an invitation to create experiences that feel personal, meaningful, and – when called for – a little bit unruly.
This belief is what gave life to WARE.store: products with provenance, crafted with care, made to be cherished but most importantly used. WARE.store is a world of story, place, and connection. We search beyond the obvious and mass-produced, bringing together tableware that embodies quality, craft, and a sense of occasion, without pretence or fuss.
You are cordially invited to bring beauty to your everyday, to gather around tables both big and small, and to enjoy the lasting pleasure of pieces made to be loved – because life is too short to save for special occasions.
Why choose WARE.store?
For those who believe a table is set with more than food, and who savour every moment spent in good company. WARE.store is guided by the idea that less is more; our edit is intentional – pieces chosen to transcend seasons and fleeting trends, designed to be used and loved every day, not hidden away for “special.”
We don’t simply select products; we build relationships with makers who share our commitment to authenticity, sustainability, and lasting value. Every piece is considered from origin to arrival, so what lands on your table carries both beauty and meaning – and of course, great food.
Our pieces are selected with care for both people and planet: crafted by smaller-scale artisans, made to last beyond seasons, and considered with a lighter footprint. We endeavour to ensure our packaging is as plastic-free as possible and continue working closely with our makers to refine every detail.
Above all, we focus on story, provenance, and real connection – between our makers, our pieces, and you.
It’s our honour to share a seat at the table with you. You’re in good company, we promise.
Our story
Behind WARE.store is Craig Madgwick – an interior designer whose eye was first honed in the fast-paced world of fashion editorial and media, where the edit was everything. Compelled by enduring design, he went on to shape high-end hospitality and residential spaces across Australia before founding his own studio in 2017.
With an instinct for timeless style and a deep respect for craft, Craig brings the same discerning eye to WARE.store. Above all, he believes good design should always serve good living – and that the best seat in the house is the one pulled up to a table laden with food, friends, and conversation.
Table notes
Why saving your best tableware for ‘special occasions’ is a habit worth breaking. Bring beauty where it belongs – in the everyday.
The antidote to mass-produced minimalism — and why “perfect” settings often fall flat.
From handwritten menus to nonna’s platters, old-school hospitality rituals are making a modern return. And we’re thrilled.
