The Sulfaro Team – Australian Made Craftsmanship and Quality. Stay well, stay safe, stay secure.

camelot-fringe-hero

The current crisis with Covid-19 has people reassessing their daily lives. At Sulfaro we recognise that these times are challenging, and we are continuing to manufacture whilst our expansive showrooms remain open for you to visit.

Our showrooms are huge, spread over two large stores. The reality is visitors can easily maintain spacing individually so there is little or no risk of unwanted contact.

The Sulfaro Furniture Collection is exclusively Australian made. Our Studio and Workshop are located at the rear of our Mitcham Showrooms. With high quality raw materials in storage and good supply, the Sulfaro team will continue to craft and build furniture of the highest quality right here in Melbourne. Sulfaro will not be affected by import embargoes or supply issues from overseas sources. We simply don’t require such materials – our furniture is genuine and 100% Australian made.

Over the next few months and into the future this is a critical factor in maintaining Australian jobs and Australian manufacturing.

At Sulfaro we employ local craftsmen and women and engage young people in apprenticeships and work experience programs. With a falling Australian dollar over the coming months, this will become quite valuable, ensuring the Australian market has access to high quality locally manufactured and designed product. Effectively it provides ongoing local employment, fosters genuine local craftsmanship and reduces the nation’s carbon footprint. It is a sustainable proposition and we are most grateful for the support of our customers and clients.

Sulfaro is adhering to all Government health recommendations in regard to Covid-19 and will be closely monitoring the advice and guidance of both the Australian Government as well as all local and international health authorities and their recommendations. We will be guided by these recommendations in our actions moving forward over the next few months in particular.

The reality is that our home, its environs, living areas and facilities becomes even more important to our family and our wellbeing in these difficult times. The reality of self-isolation and social distancing is that our home becomes where we seek comfort, security and a sense of protection.

By engaging the next generation of Furniture Framers, Upholsterers and Finishers, the Sulfaro family are ensuring that a healthy viable industry continues here in Melbourne. Sulfaro Furniture offer both Apprenticeships and a Work Experience program (to encourage interested young people to sample working in the industry through a structured industry program).

At Sulfaro, the team take great pride in the production of genuine handcrafted, hand built upholstered furniture. Whether traditional classic in design and style, or modern contemporary aligned with the latest in trends from Europe, one thing remains the same, all furniture is individually crafted from the framing through to the final fabric finishing.

The Sulfaro methodology is pure artisanship using the best in modern equipment in a spacious, well equipped studio and workshop.

The Sulfaro team have continued to adapt the traditional furniture manufacturing techniques first introduced by company founder Nunzio Sulfaro nearly 60 years ago to current requirements.

Buy from large furniture warehouses and what you are selecting is machine made, using robotic equipment. Thousands of the same style and design are manufactured in third world sweatshops in China, India, Malaysia and Indonesia. These are real ‘cookie cutter’ operations supplying the world market with production line furniture offering very little finesse. Materials are substandard in many cases with cheaper fabrics, cushioning and springing delivering a lesser quality product.

Customisation and true Bespoke Design with Sulfaro

In Australia today, most furniture is manufactured offshore. Sulfaro are one of the few remaining local manufacturers, with good reason. At Sulfaro, our accomplished team of skilled craftsmen, seamstresses and framers still take great pride in producing the genuine handcrafted and upholstered furniture it has now been creating for over 50 years.

With both bespoke and traditional design – contemporary modern classics through to genuine traditional European iconic style, Sulfaro continues to produce simply beautiful handcrafted upholstered furniture with a tasteful Italian flourish.

Resized_IMG_0577.jpg

What this doesn’t mean is receiving finished or semi-finished product from Asia and branding it. You can be entirely satisfied that your newly selected lounge suite, sofa, armchairs, occasional chairs or ottoman has been entirely created and finished right here in Melbourne, at our Mitcham factory and workshop.

Family patriarch Nunzio Sulfaro first commenced designing and handcrafting beautiful European and Italian style furniture in the early 1960s, when he first arrived in Australia from Italy. Classically trained as a furniture maker, Nunzio specialised in design, framing, upholstery and finishing to a standard seldom previously seen or experienced in Australia.

Nunzio Sulfaro and his family have introduced new standards of excellence and simply exquisite design over a fifty-year period culminating in the simply masterful range of furniture that today is the Sulfaro Furniture Collection. The tradition continues with son Santo Sulfaro and his highly skilled team of artisans and craftsmen. Even today Nunzio oversees all new designs and the finishing and quality demanded of Sulfaro Furniture.
