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.
With Sunday’s announcements by Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews, we have now resumed production at our Mitcham Studios and Workshop. Current new orders are now underway and will soon be completed. As all Sulfaro Furniture is hand built and handcrafted in our modern workshop, now is the time to place all pre-Christmas orders. [Our cut-off date for pre-Christmas orders is Close of Business November 14th]
So it is with real enthusiasm that we look forward to re-opening our showrooms, possibly from mid-October onwards.
It’s Spring, you can feel it in the air. The flowers are blooming, the birds are nesting, and there is regrowth everywhere with new leaves and the promise of a bountiful summer harvest. It’s the right time to shake off the winter gloom and refresh and renew. Take in the sunshine, the fresh fragrant air and come home to a world of comfort, a home that is superbly furnished in elegant European designed furniture from Sulfaro.
Contemporary Modern Sofas
With new designs and utilising a brilliant range of fabrics and leathers in current trending colours and patterns from the world’s leading suppliers, Sulfaro is simply pure quality. It’s the luxury and comfort you deserve. Furniture that is handcrafted and built in the manner quality furniture must be finished, Sulfaro utilises the traditional methodologies and techniques handed down over generations. As soon as you relax into a Sulfaro sofa or chair you will feel the difference – it’s the Sulfaro experience.
Most furniture available through the major stockists and ‘warehouses’ has been robotically manufactured offshore. It’s a cookie cutter production line designed to churn out as many units as possible in the shortest time possible. It certainly isn’t high quality or built to last.
Not so at Sulfaro. For a start you the client get to select the fabrics or leathers of your choice from our huge range of current and traditional materials. You can choose the accessories from skirting, piping, fringing, timber feet or casters, cushioning and sofa sizes. You can decide the colour, the look and feel of the fabrics and leathers. Time wise, it takes a little longer than simply selecting from the showroom floor, but it is entirely worth waiting for. Your lounge suite, dining setting and accessories are unique and as individual as you are.
Take the time to browse our website. Start with our most popular range of sofas, armchairs, occasional chairs and accessories – our Signature Range. For further detail view our complete collection here…
