Mark Waddington | David Perriman

Directors and Founders

Designed and launched in 2014 through the need for a stable surface on an otherwise wobbly couch arm, Mark and David had a vision to create a modern alternative to the Coffee table which was sleek, stylish, and above all – user friendly.

Through prototype development and design, you are presented with the products you see today – a custom sized stable surface for both square and round arm couches, available in various Tasmanian timbers and stains.

Mark and David have a passion to help those less fortunate in the community.

In 2015 Couchmate joined forces with Oakdale Industries – the leading not-for-profit employer of Tasmanians with intellectual disabilities. Oakdale are now the manufacturer for all of Couchmate’s products.

For each Couchmate sold, it helps create employment opportunities for the team at Oakdale.
