Spring-Summer Trends 2022

After some time experiencing a new way of living as the result of this unexpected pandemic we have started to adapt to a new normal and have different needs. Experiencing the world and seeing things with new eyes made us change our habits rather quickly but we still need and want to experience life. Interior design and fashion usually change according to seasons or social events but now more than ever we see these changes in habits leading us to new trends for spring-summer of 2022. CovetED brings you all about the spring-summer trends of 2022, are you ready? 

Maybe these trends represent the need people have to embrace the warmth of the outdoors after spending so much time indoors. Collectively we are feeling nostalgia for simpler and mellower times, for easy sunny days. Let’s create space for what we need, let’s create trends that will serve us and help us go through these times together and come back better from the experience. 

Colours are a reflection and a sign of times and so this year we will see mature yet hot and bold colours choices. On the colder spectrum side, we go from emerald green to dark blue hues and on the warmer side of things we have burnt orange and mustard yellow hues. Hot, bold and earthy colours are the choices for designers in 2022. These trends can also be seen in other details from the use of patterns to the use of design features such as geometric forms and furniture with rounded shapes. 

This year has been very out of the ordinary for everyone and came with a lot of changes within our everyday lives. Most of us now spend the entire day at home, eating, working, exercising and relaxing, everything within the same walls. With this in mind, we saw and continue to see an interest in investing in home offices, flexible spaces and even applying the same principle to the way we dress. So you want to be versatile and adaptable, either at home feeling fresh and with a healing space or with your own clothes knowing you can be comfortable and still go from inside to outside at any given moment.

ORGANIC MATERIALS 

An increasing need to bring nature to our indoors has been developing a wellness mood, choosing conscious and sustainable elements such as wood, stone, bamboo and so many other organic materials that will give your design a natural feeling. Using organic materials gives us the ability to reconnect and strengthen the human-nature connection we all need in order to increase our wellness. With so many of us living in crowded cities where outdoor pollution levels are on the rise and stress is an emerging disease embracing the use of more organic materials will improve our overall wellbeing and has been proved to reduce mental fatigue and improve our attention and focus.

NEW MINIMALISM 

Minimalism is all about giving attention to the essential forms and elements, which makes them the most important. So as they are the key elements they should be detailed oriented, perfect and of high quality. Items should have a touch of luxury, focused on being special like being made by hand and with purer materials. Refined and colder colours are a way to help complement these trend, like stone, metals and brass, is the most favourite elements. It’s the “less is more” approach that makes it perfect for these new times or we want to focus on what is really important.

 Amongst Interior Designers and Colourists there is always divergent opinion on the ‘Colour of the Year’, minimalist or maximalist? But this year we see a general consensus whereby there is a return to curves, to the tones of nature – light, sensuous, grey-greens, earthy tones of terracotta and sunburnt browns, plants and orchres, featured stone surfaces and tonings and the fullness of collectibles.

Then there is the simple classic look. Ageless, refined lines, sumptuous comfort – furniture that remains chic and luxurious over generations.

It’s time to Celebrate at Sulfaro’s Summer Living Sale

/ sulfaro2018 / Leave a comment

This week, we have even more reason to celebrate. On Thursday morning, our beautiful granddaughter Zara Rosetta Sulfaro arrived (Congratulations to Nunzio and Renee!) – Our very first Grandchild. Mother and baby both happy and healthy. So blessed. – Santo and Amelia Sulfaro.

What a beautiful time summer can be. We are so pleased. Here we are, open again and ready to greet you after the little break. The weather has been glorious and it’s certainly given us all time to reflect on our circumstances again. With another year in front of us it’s the right time to refresh and renew your furnishings – the lounge suite, the sofas, armchairs and accessories. It’s time for a little luxury, comfort and elegant design. It’s time for Sulfaro.

Beautiful handcrafted and hand built upholstered furniture. Polished timber, superb fabrics and leathers individually selected for your comfort and pleasure from Australia’s and the World’s leading fabric houses and fine leather purveyors.

Furniture lovingly created to last you and your family a lifetime. Precision, finesse and not just a little Italian flair and style.

Start your ‘Sulfaro Experience’ by visiting our website and viewing our fabulous collection. From timeless classic beauty to contemporary modern masterpiece, make your selection. Customise to suit your taste and preferences – colours, materials and accessories.

The Signature Selection features some of our more popular Sofas, Armchairs and accessories. Buffets, side tables, coffee tables, lamps and sumptuous luxuriant rugs.

You can individually select from the following categories then as you may please…

Sulfaro offer a sublime range of Dining Setting – dining tables with matching handcrafted hand built dining chairs From fully extendable dining tables seating 12-16 people through to more intimate 2-6 seaters, suitable for the breakfast room, sunroom or guest rooms – in marble, ceramic, glass, metal or polished timber surfaces.

There are two simple ways to purchase from Sulfaro. Right now you can select from our huge range of floor stock and enjoy discounts of up to 40%. The Sulfaro Showrooms are spread over 2 huge stores. Air conditioned, with regular cleaning to Covid requirements, we offer extensive off-street parking and convenient opening hours.

Location

650-652 Whitehorse Rd, Mitcham, corner of Cochrane St, approximately 1km west of the Ringwood EastLink exits. View Map

Opening Hours (When permitted post lockdown)

  • 10am to 5pm – Mon to Sat
  • 11am to 4pm – Sundays

The second method of purchase enables you to custom design the lounge suite, sofa or armchairs and occasional chairs of your choice. Firstly select the style of sofa and armchairs you desire. Then call us on 03 9872 4608 and schedule an appointment with Amelia Sulfaro and her design team to consult with you and determine your preferences. Buttoning, studding, skirting, piping, cushioning, timber finishing – select the colours and the fabrics, the premium leather you desire. Your finished and completed lounge suite will be as individual as you are. Unique, a quality design and the perfect finish – again, it’s from Sulfaro.

Sulfaro Furniture is all 100% Australian made using all Australian components wherever possible. All Sulfaro Furniture is hand built and finished in our modern Studios and Workshop located directly behind our Mitcham Showrooms. Each piece of furniture is created individually by Australian artisans under the knowledgeable direction and inspection of Master Craftsman Santo Sulfaro. The Sulfaro team have been manufacturing and hand crafting beautiful elegant high quality furniture now for nearly 60 years.

Buying Sulfaro is buying Australian. The money you spend stays here in Australia ultimately benefitting the Australian economy and local Australian industries.

Compare this to purchasing from one of the bigger wholesalers or furniture outlets. Much of the furniture follows cookie cutter robotic procedures with components being shipped to Australia from off-shore factories to be assembled, thus claiming to be ‘Australian made’. Put simply none of it is really Australian made and the bulk of your purchase price will be remitted overseas. You have minimal choice in fabrics, leathers and design. There is no variance in cushioning or springs to suit your individual needs, and frankly you have no guarantee of longevity.

All Sulfaro furniture carries a lifetime guarantee on workmanship. Only the highest quality components – timber framing, stainless steel springs, memory foam, leathers and fabrics are selected and utilised by the Sulfaro team.

Quite simply Sulfaro furniture is without doubt the very best in handcrafted, hand built furniture manufactured anywhere in Australia today. It is without peer.

But for you the real test is to come to our Mitcham showrooms in the near future and take a seat, relax and enjoy the perfect luxury of the Sulfaro experience. Comfort, luxury, design and quality simply unsurpassed.

Celebrate this summer and select from Sulfaro for a lifetime of comfort and sheer delight.

Sulfaro – it’s simply the very best.

Celebrate Australia Day with Sulfaro – Superb handcrafted, hand built furniture – Made in Australia.

Australia Day this year offers us the chance to re-assess the world we live in. With our borders closed for the foreseeable future and our economy challenged by various restrictions, it’s now more important than ever to buy Australian Made.

Sulfaro Furniture is 100% Australian made. All of our furniture is handcrafted and hand built right here in Melbourne at our Mitcham Studios and Workshop. The Sulfaro Collection offers a huge range of the highest quality Lounge Suites, Sofas, Armchairs, Occasional Chairs, Dining Settings and an amazing array of complementary accessories such as lamps, side tables, coffee tables, mirrors, credenzas, buffets and more.

Take the opportunity now to visit us leading up to and after Australia Day (we are closed for the Public Holiday on Tuesday the 26th of January but are otherwise open 7 days per week from 10am until 5pm Monday to Saturday and from 11am until 4pm on Sundays.)

The Sulfaro Showrooms are located at 650-652 Whitehorse Rd Mitcham on the corner of Cochrane St. This is approximately 1km west of the Ringwood EastLink off-ramps.

Our Modern Showrooms extend over two very large stores offering a magnificent array of current floor stock. Right now with our Summer Living Sale in full swing many of the floor stock items are marked down and discounted up to 40%. The Sulfaro premises are completely Air Conditioned and Covid Safe. Take the opportunity to sit and experience the luxury, the comfort that is Sulfaro. It’s what we call the Sulfaro experience. When visiting simply relax and enjoy the sumptuous delight of the Sulfaro Sofa or Lounge Suite of your choice.

Start your Sulfaro journey by visiting our website and browsing our full Sulfaro collection. The Signature Series features some of our most popular Sofas, Armchairs and accompanying accessories. You can review our complete collection here…

Add to this a superb selection of Dining Tables and Dining Suites complete with handcrafted dining chairs in fabrics and selected leathers. Our Dining table selections include polished timber, ceramic, marble, metallic and glass surfaces for consideration – from fully extendable tables seating 12-16 people through to compact units suitable for the breakfast nook or sunroom.

On Australia Day it is well worth considering the option of buying ‘Australian Made’. All Sulfaro Furniture is lovingly crafted by genuine artisan trades men and women. From framing to webbing, springs and upholstery, we endeavour to utilise Australian made components at all times. With a tradition spanning nearly 60 years, the Sulfaro story is one of original design, superb quality and luxury appointments. All fabrics and leathers are selected from Australian Fabric houses and the world’s leading suppliers. In choosing Sulfaro Furniture you are supporting Australian workers and their families and ensuring that your monies stay here, boosting our Australian economy instead of being remitted offshore to a distant manufacturer in China, India, Malaysia or Indonesia.

With the large Furniture Wholesalers you are often purchasing furniture that claims to be Australian made, but is frequently simply assembled here from components shipped by the container load from offshore manufacturers. Using modular methods each part is robotically produced with little or no finesse.

Compare this to Sulfaro. At Sulfaro every piece of furniture is literally created on site from framing through to finished Upholstery. This is furniture created and completed by true artisans under the watchful eye of Master Craftsman Santo Sulfaro, utilising the methodologies handed down over many generations.

And it’s no cookie-cutter operation. You as the customer or client have the opportunity to sit down with our Design team, led by Amelia Sulfaro, and customise your selected Lounge Suite or Sofa style in the manner you desire. Select the fabrics, colours and accessories to suit your interior design and personal taste. Choose the piping, the skirting, the fringing, buttoning, timber finishing, castors – it’s a world of choice. Tailored to your needs, your taste and your desires, it’s a truly individual process and delivers a result that will ultimately delight and please you for many years.

Sulfaro Furniture employs local Artisans, supports and engages young people in both Industry apprenticeships and work experience programs. Ultimately, the outcome for customers is a refined, superbly finished product that you can be proud to own, that in all likelihood will last you a lifetime, and best of all Sulfaro furniture is simply timeless in its beauty.

So don’t delay, schedule a visit now and be delighted by the possibilities. Take a seat, sit back, relax and enjoy the genuine luxury and comfort of a Sulfaro Sofa, Armchair or Lounge Suite. Relax and when you purchase know that your new furniture is guaranteed for a lifetime on its workmanship with any assistance only a phone call or email away.

It’s from Sulfaro – and it’s simply the very best in handcrafted furniture available Australia wide.

Design – Luxury, Comfort and Quality.

Summer Living with Sulfaro. The Summer Sale – You’re Invited!

/ sulfaro2018 / Leave a comment

The Summer Living Sale is now in full swing at Sulfaro Furniture. It’s the right time to sit back and relax – with Sulfaro! Take the time to schedule a visit to our Showrooms in Mitcham to make your selections. All floor stock is heavily discounted with some items enjoying up to a 40% discount.

Location

Located at 650-652 Whitehorse Rd Mitcham, the showrooms are just 1km west of the Eastlink Ringwood exit ramps, on the corner of Cochrane St.

Opening Hours

Sulfaro is open 7 days per week 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and on Sundays from 11am until 4pm. Fully Air Conditioned for your comfort, the Showrooms are spread over two huge stores, with ample off-street parking available.

Contemporary Modern Sofas

The essential difference between Sulfaro Furniture and that offered by larger Furniture ‘Wholesale’ Retailers is quite simple. All Sulfaro Furniture is actually hand built and handcrafted individually item by item at our premises in Mitcham. We operate from our modern Studios and Workshop located directly behind the Sulfaro Showrooms. It’s all 100% Australian made using Australian materials wherever possible, and Sulfaro is 100% Australian owned. It’s not just a trick of the light as is the case with many of the larger furniture retailers who claim their furniture is 100% Australian made. It’s not. It’s 100% Australian ‘assembled’ using parts and components manufactured robotically offshore, sent disassembled to Australia then completed here to gain the ‘Australian made’ branding. Quite simply it’s not Australian made and the money you pay for such furniture is then remitted offshore to overseas manufacturers.

The Sulfaro team are all master craftsmen and artisans who individually and lovingly craft each newly created piece of Sulfaro Furniture. It’s a family tradition, first started in the early 1960s by Master Craftsman Nunzio Sulfaro and now for nearly 40 years continued by his son Santo Sulfaro, also a Master Craftsman in his own right.

Traditional European Sofas

The Sulfaro team take great pride in their work, ensuring a perfect finish on every sofa, armchair or occasional chair, on every lounge suite and with the beautiful elegant accessories (lamps, coffee tables, side tables, buffets, credenzas, mirrors, ottomans and much more) that accompany them.

All Sulfaro Furniture carries a lifetime guarantee on workmanship. When you visit us, take a seat and sit back, and relax. It’s the beginning of your Sulfaro Experience – pure comfort, total luxury, exquisite design.

Before you visit take the time to browse our Sulfaro Collection here which you will find on our website.
