Platform No. 5 is a curated makers’ space in The Mill Precinct, shaped by furniture maker and vintage collector Antun Davcik. Here you’ll find handmade works by local artists and designers alongside a collection of vintage and antique furniture and homewares. The space is the antithesis of our throwaway culture, showcasing individually handcrafted pieces that have stood the test of time. Tables made from recycled Australian hardwood sit alongside Hungarian handcrafted dough bowls, a German beer hall table setting, vintage industrial lampshades, Czech botanical posters, French bread boards, hand-blown glass demijohns, vintage copies of *National Geographic*, and even surveyors maps of Castlemaine and the surrounding region from the 1930s to the 60s. There are also paintings by local artist Sarah Boulton, art frames made from recycled flour-mill trays by Aya Furniture, and tables by Makin Workshop (which runs a workshop on-site).
