Buttonworks Australia
Buttonworks Australia is a family-run business founded by the Murray family, designing and making timber puzzles, homewares, and gifts in their studio on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. What began in 2001 with handcrafted buttons grew from a desire to create authentic Australian-made gifts inspired by the country’s diverse flora and fauna something hard to find for family and friends overseas.
Combining Liz’s creative background with Mike’s technical expertise, Buttonworks evolved into a leading Australian giftware brand, with daughters Liza and Keli joining the business. Today, Liz and Keli lead the creative direction as a mother-daughter design team, blending artistic styles with modern technology. All products are made using sustainably harvested Australian timbers, celebrating craftsmanship, community, and a shared commitment to supporting local people, suppliers, and the environment.
