All Sulfaro Furniture comes with a Lifetime Guarantee on workmanship and finishing. This can be a critical issue. When repairs are required, it’s the team of artisans who have made and crafted the furniture originally that will execute the work required – not a third party contractor with little or no affinity with your furniture, nor an off-shore facility that requires months of extra time simply on the transport to and from their facility.

For those people lucky enough to have valuable antiques, heirloom pieces or simply those valuable family treasures such as period sofas, armchairs or occasional chairs, you can trust your treasured furniture to Sulfaro for all your necessary repairs and restorations. The Sulfaro team of artisans, upholsterers, framers and seamstresses can return to you your heirloom pieces in mint condition, faithful to the original manufacture and creation. Contact the Workshop on 03 9872 4608 and direct your enquiries to Master Craftsman Santo Sulfaro on all restoration and renovation requirements.

Looking for new furniture is time consuming and well, somewhat confusing. Often with visits to multiple outlets, you are left with the impression that there is a sameness, a formula to most of the lounge suites, sofas and dining settings on display. The originality, the quality, the craftsmanship – where is it? At Sulfaro Furniture, that’s where. Stunning design, superb quality and supreme comfort – all made in Australia, crafted and built right here in Melbourne.

Select Quality, Luxury and Comfort

At Sulfaro comfort, quality and design are no accident.

It is furniture created using methodologies passed down over many generations. Refined, crafted with total precision under the watchful eye of Master Craftsman Santo Sulfaro.

Individually Designed – Complete Comfort

Australia wide it is difficult to source genuine handcrafted furniture, created and completed using traditional methods of the upholstery industry. In past bygone eras furniture makers and furniture upholsterers were known as ‘upholders’. In those days various materials such as horse hair and goose down were used for cushioning. The trick was to ensure it ‘upheld’ for its lifetime. Today with modern materials and equipment the task is much easier but it remains important that those very real skills maintained and applied today.

In selecting Sulfaro, you have decided on first class, quality, hand built furniture. Using modern materials, traditional methodologies and the very best equipment, our clients get to enjoy that Sulfaro difference – the Sulfaro experience – Quality, Design and Comfort.

Often, when considering new furniture, we all welcome professional advice. Having just completed major renovations, purchased a new apartment or built a new home, it’s now time to furnish. Naturally the desire is to accentuate and compliment the design elements and beauty of your property with an elegant and clever selection of superbly crafted, comfortable furniture – lounge suites, dining suites and occasional chairs and accessories. At Sulfaro, the process is made simple and accessible – we offer a complimentary Interior Design service.

According to well-known Architect Andrew Fedorowicz of Balance Architecture, the completion of any major renovation or new build requires competent interior design to satisfy the overall project.

“Why create a refined elegant vista and then finish off with a flat featureless interior? Furniture needs to be carefully selected. It needs to bring out the form and elegance, the space and the warmth of your interiors, taking into account the lighting, colour schemes and surfaces of your living areas.”

At Sulfaro, we offer a complimentary Interior Design service. To access the service, call and make an appointment with our design team, headed up by Amelia Sulfaro on 03 9872 4608.

Please then feel welcome to bring your floor plans, architectural plans or house plan to the meeting. Be confident to bring photographs of interiors you admire, furniture you find attractive, colour samples, fabric or leather samples, and information on colour schemes, flooring or features such as feature windows, bifold doors, indoor/outdoor areas, living room and bedroom layouts – anything you feel may assist or requires attention.

At the same time, take the opportunity to browse the Sulfaro Collection on our website and select the designs, the styles of lounge suites, sofas, armchairs and occasional chairs you desire. Also view our range of Decor and Design Accessories – cabinets, credenzas, buffets, coffee tables, side tables, lamps and much more.

“If you have the opportunity to select your fabrics, leather and finishing on your new furniture, take it. Create your individual space that you’re comfortable with. Seek qualified advice, go the extra mile. There’s nothing more disappointing than to downgrade your newly renovated or constructed living areas with cheap, uninspiring, mass manufactured furniture.”

Andrew Fedorowicz Architect
Fellow of the Australian Institute of Architects

When selecting new furniture, we are offered myriad of choices. From superb handcrafted, hand built furniture made right here in Melbourne, through to cheap imported ‘cookie cutter’ pieces found in the big furniture warehouses and barns. Don’t settle for anything less than the highest quality. Choose furniture that’s built for a lifetime – not a few seasons. And Sulfaro Furniture is simply the best – the highest quality available, elegant and truly stylish.

With Sulfaro, handcrafting means applying just that little extra in terms of stitching, cushioning, springs (stainless steel) and framing. Upholstery is the key to quality furniture being built to last. By hand building and handcrafting all Sulfaro furniture we can offer a lifetime guarantee on all workmanship. The end result is a beautiful piece of furniture carefully crafted and created using traditional methods handed down over many generations. From concept to completion, the process is overseen by Master Craftsman Santo Sulfaro, with each stage being lovingly crafted by skilled and trained artisans – upholsterers, frame-makers and seamstresses.

In the past, the trade of Upholstery was known as ‘Upholding’. Furniture as we know it was first crafted over 400 years ago. At first it was the heavy block like furniture of Germany, but with time the introduction of the fine and refined styling of Italian furniture began to influence all European furniture. Furniture in Britain and France started to demonstrate these trends in the 18th and 19th centuries. The elegant furniture of the French Provincial period was a clear demonstration of this transference.

Sulfaro Furniture has its foundation in the traditional Furniture making crafts of Italy and Europe. Following tried and true methodologies is the only way of achieving true comfort, durability and quality in upholstered furniture. From the early 1960s, the Sulfaro brand has produced exquisitely designed high quality upholstered furniture, both in traditional classics and modern contemporary – sofas, armchairs, occasional chairs, dining chairs and tables, ottomans and a full range of gorgeous complimentary accessories – made right here in Melbourne.

And this is the reason you should really consider selecting Sulfaro when you decide to purchase a new lounge suite. A Sulfaro Sofa, Armchair or Dining Setting is built and crafted to last a lifetime at our modern well equipped studios and workshop here in Mitcham, our Melbourne headquarters.

What’s the difference? With Sulfaro you know that should you require repairs or assistance, the manufacturer is a phone call away, you can speak to them directly. The furniture is built to last a lifetime. When you buy cheaper furniture, its use-by date looms from the day you purchase it, a poor investment. You’ll pay a price not dissimilar to what you pay for quality yet again within 5 years there is every likelihood you’ll have to make a similar purchase again.

Buying from Sulfaro Furniture supports local industry, local employment and ultimately Australia’s balance of trade – it protects Australian jobs and the Australian economy.

The durability and quality is down to the extra care, the superior quality materials used – timber framing, cushioning, steel springs and the fabric and leathers selected. It is indeed a very solid investment in your family’s future. But more importantly it’s simply beautiful – sleek lines, smooth warm fabrics and superbly comfortable furniture with genuine support.

Right now you can achieve up to 40% discount on nominated and marked items on our showroom floors – the same hand crafted hand finished furniture we’ve been discussing – it’s definitely worth a showroom visit.

Schedule your visit and select from our extraordinary range of floor stock available, with over two huge showrooms of elegant stylish traditional and contemporary furniture.

The Sulfaro Showrooms are located at 650-652 Whitehorse Rd, Mitcham, cnr of Cochrane St, approximately 1km west of the EastLink exit ramps.

Opening hours as follows:

  • 10am to 5pm, Mon to Sat
  • 11am to 4pm Sundays
