BIO: Adam Drexler, founder

Adam Drexler founded eclectic furniture and homewares brand Matt Blatt 18 years ago in 2002 with his partner Deborah Drexler. Matt Blatt began as an Ebay store, before launching its own website and eventually moving into bricks-andmortar showrooms.

Now there are 11 stores across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbanee, the Gold Coast, Adelaide and Canberra, with more to launch by Christmas. Approximately 70 per cent of the product range is original design while 30 per cent are premium replica pieces.

A qualified electrical engineer, Drexler began selling furniture he sourced from auctions out of his small eastern suburbs store in Sydney in the late ‘70s, before moving into manufacturing in the early ‘80s.
