After 100 days, it’s fantastic to be re-opening. Victorians have done a splendid job in flattening the curve and it’s now time to enjoy the freedom of movement we have all been missing.

Situated on the corner of Cochrane St, we offer two very large and substantial showrooms stocked with a gorgeous range of Lounge Suites, Dining Settings, Sofas, Armchairs, Occasional Chairs and Accessories such as Ottomans, lamps, objets de art, statuettes, side tables, coffee tables, credenzas, buffets – it’s a superb selection of beautiful high quality hand selected accessories and art pieces.

Amelia Sulfaro and her design team will guide you through this process. We encourage you to provide photographs, interior design plans, architectural plans, floor plans or colour schemes you may wish to work with or incorporate.

For Sulfaro clients and customers we take this exciting option one step further. We offer an Interior Design Service free to all Sulfaro customers.

You can then select from our full Collection individually as follows…

• Contemporary / Modern
On trend, modern design, sleek, low comfortable.

• Traditional / European
Elegant Classic European, timeless beauty, stunning design.

• Classic / Hamptons
Relaxed yet formal, stylish – comfort from the Hamptons.

All Sulfaro Furniture is hand built and handcrafted at our Mitcham (Melbourne) Studios and Workshop. Using modern equipment and the very best in selected materials, the Sulfaro team of artisans, tradesmen and women create the very best in Australian made, handcrafted furniture for your pleasure and delight. All Sulfaro Furniture is manufactured and completed entirely in our Melbourne workshop using traditional furniture making and upholstery techniques, handed down over generations. Each piece is monitored and completed under the watchful eye of Master Craftsman, Santo Sulfaro.

We hope you are encouraged to ‘Buy Australian’ in these rather difficult times. At Sulfaro we utilise Australian materials wherever possible and in purchasing from us at Sulfaro you are supporting local industry and local employment. Perhaps best of all, the money stays here in our economy, and isn’t simply sent offshore. Local manufacturing supports local families and the Australian economy, so make sure you buy Australian made.

Contrast that with the majority of furniture offered by the larger furniture warehouses and Retailers. The vast proportion of imported sofas, armchairs and accessories are robotically manufactured to ‘cookie-cutter’ formulas that leave consumers with little or no choice. The factories are sweat shops that exploit workers. In many cases the importers ‘assemble’ the components here in Australia to achieve ‘Australian made’ status. But it’s simply not true, with all components manufactured offshore.

Make the decision to select quality. Sulfaro Furniture is meticulously crafted and expertly finished. We are so confident of our product we give a 100% lifetime guarantee on all workmanship on all Sulfaro Furniture.

Interstate buyers can order via email or telephone. Simply call 03 9872 4608 or email us at sulfaro@sulfaro.com.au for orders and pricing. We deliver Australia wide.

At Sulfaro we have no hesitation saying the Sulfaro Collection is in fact the very best handcrafted hand built furniture currently available Australia wide. In selecting Sulfaro, you are choosing a lifetime of comfort, luxury and quality. Superb design with Italian flair and finesse. It’s the right decision.

Sulfaro – It’s simply the very best.

Experience and a full understanding of the traditional furniture making processes offers a retail package that is both unique and superb in its quality, comfort and finish.

The Sulfaro Collection is simply the very best handmade, hand crafted furniture offered and available, Australia wide. We deliver Australia wide to assist our many clients and friends of Sulfaro.

Traditional European Furniture

The reality is that in supporting Sulfaro Furniture you are supporting local industry and local jobs. Sulfaro employs local tradesmen and women, true artisans who then instil the art of furniture making in our apprentices and trainees. The materials we use are Australian wherever possible, so ultimately your purchase supports the Australian economy and the future of our children, something we take great pride in.

Don’t settle for some cheap imported ‘knock off’ churned out in on offshore robotic factory whereby profits and employment are shifted offshore, offering no value to Australia’s future or your family’s security. Keep in mind we employ a local workforce – tradespeople apprentices and assistants – and it’s actually people like them who’s families depend upon local manufacturing. Buy Australian, buy Sulfaro.

Classic Hamptons Style Furniture

As we said earlier we are looking forward to re-opening in mid to late October with real passion and commitment. We so look forward to seeing you and not just our business re-opening but also all of our many friends and associates in the wider retail and hospitality community also re-opening for business. For updates please follow us on Facebook, Instagram or on our blog. Naturally we will provide full details on our website as soon as we are aware of the permitted arrangements.

In the meantime, you CAN ORDER from us. Email us at sulfaro@sulfaro.com.au or call us on 03 9872 4608 for ordering and price confirmation.

Start your ‘Sulfaro Experience’ – Design, Luxury and Comfort – now. You deserve it.

Select Sulfaro – always – it’s simply the very best.

Sulfaro – 100% Australian Made

October 5, 2020 / sulfaro2018 / Leave a comment

Today more than ever is the time to support Australian made products. In supporting Australian made you are maintaining Australian manufacturing, Australian jobs and employment.

The majority of furniture currently sold in Australia in imported, mostly from China. Quite simply the profit is being remitted offshore and is of little or no benefit to the Australian economy.

Australia used to have a thriving manufacturing sector. Much of the furniture we grew up with was made here in Australia. It is a testament to its quality that a considerable quantity of it is still in use after restoration.

Today, Sulfaro is one of the few remaining local manufacturers. All Sulfaro furniture from frame-making through to completed upholstery is handcrafted and hand built, here in Melbourne at our modern Mitcham Studio and Workshop. We employ local artisans and tradespeople and provide apprenticeships as well as Work Experience programs for young people interested in a career in the furniture industry. In supporting us and other Australian manufacturers you are in fact supporting our work forces and their families.

Quite simply we urge you to ‘Buy Australian’ wherever possible. Never before has it been so important to do so. The reality is we produce materials of the highest quality right here in Australia – in our case furniture, and with broad migration having extended for over 100 years in Australia, anything you could purchase offshore is likely manufactured right here now to a higher standard with guaranteed quality.

At Sulfaro, we are expecting to re-open our Showrooms in Mitcham (650-652 Whitehorse Rd – 1km west of the EastLink) in October, hopefully mid-month if the numbers keep improving and stabilise. Schedule a visit and experience for yourself the superb quality and design of our complete Sulfaro Collection. Visit our website and browse to select your new lounge suite, sofas, armchairs or dining settings.

But remember ‘Buy Australian’ and select Sulfaro. it really is the very best furniture available in Australia today.
