Parquetry Flooring in Melbourne, Made by Hand for Over Two Centuries of Craft
Specialists in premium French Oak and select Australian hardwoods, Renaissance Parquet creates both traditional and contemporary parquetry with a level of craftsmanship rarely seen today. From classic Herringbone and Chevron flooring to Versailles panels, custom patterns, timber stairs, and engineered floors, we offer one of Melbourne’s most comprehensive ranges of European-inspired timber flooring.
Our craft spans more than 200 years. The Unger family has worked timber since the early 1800s, running mills and joinery workshops across Europe, and those same skills continue in our Melbourne factory today. Every floor we produce blends time-honoured techniques with modern precision, ensuring exceptional stability, longevity, and beauty.
Drawing inspiration from the grand parquetry of historic French estates, we partner with architects, designers, and homeowners to craft floors that are not only visually striking but deeply personal. Each piece is made to order, allowing us to shape truly unique and enduring surfaces that enrich the character of any space.
Because every project is manufactured in-house, we maintain complete control over timber selection, grading, moisture stability, and finishing. This allows us to achieve a level of precision that imported, mass-produced parquetry cannot match. Our team of skilled craftspeople hand-assemble each pattern, ensuring perfect alignment, crisp geometry, and consistent colour harmony across every board and panel.
Whether restoring a period home, designing a contemporary interior, or creating a one-of-a-kind feature floor, Renaissance Parquet offers a collaborative and highly tailored process. We provide samples, technical guidance, and custom finishing options to help our clients realise their vision with confidence. The result is flooring that not only performs for generations but also carries a story – one rooted in heritage, artistry, and enduring beauty.
Customise your parquetry with timeless European influences, handcrafted in Melbourne and engineered for Australian conditions. Explore our full range of premium flooring and custom design possibilities.

Our Recent Projects
French Oak – Our Speciality
At Renaissance Parquet, we specialise in premium-grade French Oak Timber, renowned for its high tannin content that allows it to absorb colour fully, resulting in a natural stain and superior finish. French Oak Flooring is esteemed for its long grain patterns, rich colour, and sophisticated appearance, making it the preferred choice among flooring enthusiasts.
Where does French Oak Timber come from?
Our French Oak Timber comes exclusively from sustainably managed forests in France. Our oak undergoes meticulous processing and grading according to strict guidelines by The National Wood Federation, overseeing numerous sawmills in France. With clear grading rules and precise drying methods, we ensure consistency and excellence in every plank. We exclusively use FSC and PEFC certified single-origin materials, guaranteeing the quality and authenticity of the finished product. Additionally, we provide a certificate of origin and country of harvest declaration to reassure customers of their investment’s integrity.
