Elegant Beautiful European Style Furniture – the Sulfaro Difference. Comfort Craftsmanship and Impeccable Quality

/ sulfaro2018 / Leave a comment

In choosing Sulfaro you’ve selected the very best in comfort, quality and stunning design. Hand-built and handcrafted in our modern studios and workshop by true Artisans, simply the very best in upholstered furniture. At Sulfaro all furniture is created individually from framing to full upholstering and finishing. For us, at Sulfaro, furniture making is a genuine artform and to quote Ralph Lauren “Things made by hand are rare these days.”

The Sulfaro Difference – Craftsmanship Quality and Exquisite Design

For three generations now Sulfaro have created elegantly designed bespoke furniture utilising skills and craftsmanship handed down through generations of furniture makers. The result is impeccable quality, superb comfort and undeniable style and grace.

Current Managing Director, Santo Sulfaro, is the third generation Master Craftsman, having been classically trained in the art of furniture making and upholstery by his late father, Nunzio Sulfaro. It was Nunzio who established the Sulfaro brand and furniture making enterprise in the early 1960s. Nunzio offered a quality and style in furniture new to Australia in a genre that had previously only ever been imported from Europe. Over time the Sulfaro business has grown into what it is today with extensive showrooms spread over two huge stores in Mitcham as well as a complex of modern studios and a workshop located immediately behind the showrooms.

All Sulfaro furniture is 100% Australian made utilising Australian components and materials wherever and whenever possible. Buying Sulfaro means buying Australian. Ultimately the money you spend stays here in Australia, benefitting Australian workers and their families. In purchasing from Sulfaro you are supporting a valuable and unique industry sector, providing jobs and careers for young Australians and maintaining a true tradition of manufacturing excellence, producing genuine Australian furniture.

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.

Sulfaro Furniture deliver Australia-wide. The Sulfaro Showrooms are located at 650-652 Whitehorse Rd, Mitcham, corner of Cochrane St – approximately 1 kilometre west of the EastLink Ringwood exit ramps.

The Sulfaro Made in Melbourne Sale. Extra Quality, Extra Comfort, Extra Value “The Sulfaro Experience”

camelot-fringe-hero

When making a purchase, we all desire that little extra. That special addition that completes our feeling of accomplishment. When selecting furniture, it’s both the little extras and the very real features that confirm Sulfaro Furniture as the very best available. Handcrafted, hand built here in Melbourne. Made in Australia – and right now with our ‘Made in Melbourne’ Sale, discounts of up to 40% on marked items.

But getting back to extras, a Sulfaro sofa, armchair or dining setting offers so much more. Each piece is lovingly crafted by our skilled artisans under the watchful eye of master craftsman Santo Sulfaro. Each piece is individually crafted at our Mitcham Studios and Workshop from frame building to the finished item, with that extra attention to detail and quality.

Fabrics are selected from the world’s leading fabric houses. Leather from the best suppliers. Foam or down cushioning is prepared and finished using the very best materials available. There is no compromise on quality. It’s that little bit extra that makes the Sulfaro difference.

 

The Sulfaro experience. Quality, luxury and comfort with a lifetime guarantee on all workmanship (repairs and maintenance are only a phone call away – not a continent). Repairs and refurbishments on fabrics are simple – Sulfaro is Melbourne based, providing easy pick-up and delivery.

Take a look at our Sulfaro Collection and you’ll be excited and delighted at the range of designs and styles available across the entire Sulfaro range. It’s the little extras – the skirting, the fringing, the piping, all in stunning fabrics and materials. The brass casters, the timber finishing, all standard, part of the masterful creation of every Sulfaro piece of furniture. European elegance, with sophisticated Italian design and styling. Traditional classic designs as well as modern contemporary masterpieces.

Add to this an extensive range of Recliner units – chairs, sofas and full lounge suites as well as Sofa Beds. You’ll find this under Recliners and Motion Suites – a full range of both leather and fabric units in modern comfortable designs.

To compliment this beautiful and exquisite selection, Sulfaro offers a complete range of Accessories such as Lamps, Credenzas, Side Cabinets, Coffee and Side Tables, Mirrors and featured Statuettes and Objets De Art. These can be viewed here – Decor and Design Accessories.

A full range of Dining Settings from full extendable dining tables for up to 12 people or simple settings for 2-4 people are also available and now on sale. Timber, glass and ceramics, the choice is yours.

Compare this beautiful furniture to what is available in the big furniture outlets. Most of the stock in those outlets is robotically manufactured in third world sweatshops – in Indonesia, China, Vietnam and the Philippines. There is simply no comparison. You have little or no choice in fabrics or leathers, framing is often inferior – it’s a cookie cutter option from start to finish – one size fits all.

Make the time to schedule a visit to our extensive Sulfaro Showrooms located in Mitcham (details below). Sit back and relax and really enjoy that extra comfort and delight in the simply gorgeous designs. And right now with our Made in Melbourne Sale, your selected lounge suite could be yours, delivered and in your home within the week – with that little extra discount of up to 40%! Now that’s something you can really enjoy!
