Over the last few years in Melbourne trade shows and exhibitions have been curtailed or cancelled due to the pandemic. This year however the Décor and Design Mel 22 Event is back – bigger, more expansive and more exciting than ever.

Combined with the Australian International Furniture Fair the Décor and Design Event is a must attend for all relevant industry participants – Retailers, Designers, Decorators, Architects and other industry parties. At Sulfaro we look forward to visiting and enjoying the sheer inspiration and creativity of the event (note the exhibitions are not open to the public). 

It’s a great opportunity to connect with inspirational and creative designers for furniture manufacturers and retailers. New trends, new directions are revealed with the 2022 trend forecasts from leading trend forecasters. The 2022 Vivid Design Awards will profile new and emerging Designers and this year there is to be a new ‘Sustainability Hub’ and an ‘Avenue of Design’. 

It’s a great show and a great opportunity to profile the Sulfaro Collection to interested parties as well as absorb the directions and trends currently inspiring creativity and new design.

The Sulfaro Furniture story started here in Melbourne over 60 years’ ago. Founded by Nunzio Sulfaro, the business commenced producing stylish and elegant European designed furniture for an increasingly discerning market. Today Sulfaro offer an extensive range of both classic and contemporary furniture created exclusively here in Australia utilising the very best in components, fabrics, fine leathers, framing, cushioning and more. Luxury, comfort, superb design and the most exacting of standards ensure a quality that is unsurpassed. 

The Sulfaro studios and workshop are located behind the company’s showrooms in Mitcham, Melbourne. Master Craftsman, Santo Sulfaro, the son of the late Nunzio Sulfaro, manages the full manufacturing process, supervising a highly skilled team of Artisans and Tradesmen and Tradeswomen in producing the very best, the finest in upholstered furniture and accessories. It is furniture that will last a lifetime and, as such, all workmanship is guaranteed for a lifetime. 

Australian Made – 100% 

Made in Australia means the standards applied are far superior to those of most imported furniture. The reality is that the vast majority of the upholstered furniture in Australia – lounge suites, sofas and armchairs is imported from Asia. Factory production lines replicate the same designs using robotic equipment and unskilled labour. Materials are often sub-standard, basically to meet budget requirements. It’s a ‘cookie cutter’ methodology leaving little or no room for individual flair, vision and, ultimately, offering a very reduced choice. 

Australian Made at Sulfaro means the item of furniture is individually created from conception and design through to the finished piece of furniture. Framing is first grade Australian hardwood with stainless steel springs and selected premium cushioning, then combined with selected fabrics or fine leathers to create absolute comfort and real luxury.

Customisation

The really big advantage at Sulfaro is the option of selecting the fabrics, the leathers and the accessories for your new lounge suite, sofa or chair. With skilled Artisans actually hand building and crafting your new furniture this lends itself to enabling a variety of options in terms of accessories always available for our customers. Choose from our extensive selection of fine fabrics and leathers gathered over time from both Australia’s and the world’s leading fabric houses and leather suppliers with new additions and trending materials added regularly. Choose from different styles of buttoning, piping, skirting, fringing and cushioning. Create the furniture you desire to meet with your vision and your individual taste confident in the knowledge that it is 100% Australian Made using Australian materials and components wherever and whenever possible.

Sulfaro Furniture, beautifully crafted and finished, is made with the goals of comfort, quality and durability. Add to this superb design and the very best in components and materials. The end result is superb, hand-built handcrafted furniture that is guaranteed on workmanship to last you a lifetime. But Sulfaro Furniture is offered for sale with another major benefit in mind – sustainability. 

Currently there is a television advertisement running for another furniture retailer where a sofa is dropped from a plane, pirouettes through the sky to ultimately crash in a desert landscape. It’s a pretty accurate depiction of why cheap, poorly made furniture is not only a poor selection on quality and durability but it’s also accurate in that most imported, cheap furniture will find its way to landfill within a relatively short period.

Compare this to Sulfaro. The Sulfaro Collection is designed and built to last customers a lifetime. It’s not uncommon for Sulfaro customers to return ten years after purchase to refresh and recover their Sulfaro loungesuite or sofa. Often this is to refresh and renew the fabrics or leathers to meet with current trends or their new interior design. With classic designs there is a timeless beauty to each piece of Sulfaro Furniture. 

Sustainability at Sulfaro

For Sulfaro sustainability means much more than just another buzz word. For many years now the Sulfaro workshops and studios have utilised sustainable practices – Recycle, Re-use and Reduce. 

Fabric and leather offcuts are utilised by local Primary Schools for craft exercises and learning. Local Art Centres also collect leather offcuts and fabric remnants to create items such as clothing, bags and accessories – beautifully handmade leather bags, purses and other individually crafted items. Foam offcuts are returned to the manufacturer, Dunlop, for recycling. Timber offcuts are collected for further use by tradesmen and craft users. Sawdust is recycled with gardeners who then compost it and use it as a mulch or soil additive. Naturally as a responsible company, Sulfaro uses a reputable Waste Removal company to recycle all plastics, cardboard, paper and, where possible, general waste. 

Old clothing remains a huge problem both here in Australia and to those countries in Africa and Asia where we export thousands of tonnes of used clothing to be recycled. Only a small proportion of this clothing is ever recycled. The rest goes to landfill. Sulfaro utilise a product made by milled old clothing as an adhesive dampener between the springs and framing on all furniture pieces and is now co-operatively investigating the potential for producing this milled fabric produce (from old clothes) locally. 

Used furniture is both bulky and difficult to dispose of. Some councils require separate hard rubbish pick up for old furniture and if accepted as ‘landfill’ the furniture is very difficult to dispose of.

Purchasing from Sulfaro ensures a sustainable proposition is maintained. Sulfaro Furniture is built to last. With a classic and traditional or modern contemporary the idea behind our furniture is that it remains stylish, comfortable and attractive for many years. It is one of the main reasons why traditional furniture making has remained popular over many years. Robotic manufacturing and production line factories simply cannot replicate the quality achieved through hand finishing and handcrafting of upholstered furniture.
