/ sulfaro2018 / Leave a comment

After a long, wet winter and a very wet spring no doubt we are all looking forward to a warmer summer and the chance to relax and entertain family and friends over the holiday period. Now is the time to plan and renew our living areas in preparation for Christmas and the holidays. Expand your dining setting to accommodate the whole of your extended family – add new sofas, armchairs and occasional chairs to provide the ultimate in comfort and relaxation. Create the interior and the flow into your outdoor areas that achieves real comfort, real luxury for you and your guests.

Utilising an Interior Designer – the Benefits

It’s often a clever idea to engage an Interior Designer to re-imagine your living areas. A trained eye can view your home spaces in an objective manner. A Designer will create flow and comfort for you and your family with a vision that encourages you to occupy, use and enjoy your living space. Good Designers will consider your overall floor space, the size of your rooms and open spaces. Today there is a move to encouraging indoor/outdoor merging of space with bi-fold doors, glass sliding doors and a resulting seamless flow from indoor living areas to patios, outdoor decking and the like.

Good design requires beautiful, complementary furniture. Quality fabrics and leathers with genuine style and comfort.  There is none better than Sulfaro. Handcrafted and handmade, measured and refined to meet the specifications of your home. It’s the reason why well known and respected Interior Designers often choose Sulfaro. It’s the ability to be able to select the fabrics and materials they desire to ensure an absolutely superb finish for their clients. It’s the workmanship, the end result, that can only be achieved by a Master Craftsman and his team of Artisans, Tradespeople and Finishers.

Customisation

All Sulfaro customers and clients have the opportunity to customise their selected Sulfaro furniture – sofas, chairs, ottomans and dining chairs, to achieve the look, the feel, the vision they have for their new furniture and their home. The Sulfaro Design Team have created a superb collection of fine fabrics and leathers from which clients can choose and select the colours, the materials and also the fabric accessories they prefer and desire – buttoning, piping, skirting, fringing, cushioning. The fabrics and leathers have been selected and gathered from Australia and the world’s leading fabric houses and fine leather producers with up-to-date trending materials included as well as classic and traditional fabrics and leathers.

When selecting your new furniture there are a number of key elements to consider.

Design

The Sulfaro range of exclusive furniture was established in the early 1960s, a combination of both traditional pieces – Sofas, armchairs, ottomans and dining chairs as well as some very eclectic very ‘hip’ European design as was the fashion at the time.


Today’s exciting Sulfaro Collection retains that key element of original design. Some Sulfaro designs retain Classic and Traditional appearances. It’s a look that simply doesn’t date. Carefully hand-built, hand-crafted in our modern studio and workshop, each piece is lovingly created by Master Craftsman Santo Sulfaro and his team of skilled and gifted artisans and tradespeople – upholsterers, seamstresses, frame makers and finishers.

Whether you select a Classic, Traditional, or Contemporary design, you can be confident that your choice is an original Sulfaro design crafted using the very finest in fabrics and materials. Solid hardwood frames, stainless steel springs with the very best in cushioning and accessories. Best of all, Sulfaro Furniture comes with a lifetime guarantee on all workmanship, and it’s made in Australia – completely.

But what’s sure to capture your imagination and ultimately the major attraction to the Sulfaro range, is the sheer beauty, the exquisite lines, the luxury and comfort of a Sulfaro Sofa, Lounge Suite or Chair. It’s time to relax, to revel in the touch, the support and comfort only a Sulfaro Sofa can provide.

Take the time to browse our website for design ideas and some simply beautiful settings – matching Sofas with armchairs, Occasional Chairs and accessories such as designer lamps, luxurious coffee tables, side tables and sumptuous rugs. You must start with our gorgeous Signature Series. The Signature Series represents some of our most popular Sofas, Armchairs and accessories.

Simply call us on 03 9872 4608 and schedule a meeting with Amelia Sulfaro and the Sulfaro design team. Amelia is the Retail manager and has an excellent knowledge of fabrics, leathers and accessories to ensure your new furniture and interior design layout meet your desires and requirements – we encourage you to bring in your floor plans, photographs, colour selections and current dimensions with you to the meeting.

Quality

Most of the furniture available through larger furniture outlets is imported. Often it is robotically manufactured in off-shore factories to a relatively limited number of cookie-cutter designs. Materials are standardised, with cheaper timbers and plywoods being used for framing. Cushion foams are often low quality, meaning the cushioning loses its form with use. Basically, it may look good in the showroom but with wear and tear, such furniture will need replacement within a few years. Sulfaro is completely Australian made, using Australian components and materials wherever possible.

In comparison, the imported furniture offered through large wholesalers or furniture barns, is often assembled from modules manufactured off-shore enabling an Australian made claim to be made. It’s anything but.

Buying from Sulfaro supports the Australian economy, local industry and local employment. Unlike with imported furniture, the money stays here, supporting local workers and their families.

Design, Comfort and Quality – the hallmarks of all Sulfaro Furniture; with over two large stores of floor-stock available now, it’s the right time to select your new lounge suite – and enjoy up to 40% discount at our huge Autumn Sale.

Location

Sulfaro is located at 650 – 652 Whitehorse Rd, Mitcham, Cnr of Cochrane St. This is approximately 1 KM West of the Ringwood Off ramps on Eastlink.

Experience and a full understanding of the traditional furniture making processes offers a retail package that is both unique and superb in its quality, comfort and finish.

For many years, the Sulfaro family have had a unique understanding and approach to the Australian market. This is based on the Sulfaro team being the manufacturer as well as the Retail seller of all Sulfaro Furniture. At Sulfaro you are invited to select from our extensive collection and customise your sofa, lounge suite, armchairs and dining settings according to your taste and desire. You are invited to choose the fabrics, colours, pattern and accessories of your choice.

The Sulfaro Collection is simply the very best handmade, hand crafted furniture offered and available, Australia wide. We deliver Australia wide to assist our many clients and friends of Sulfaro.

Traditional European Furniture

The reality is that in supporting Sulfaro Furniture you are supporting local industry and local jobs. Sulfaro employs local tradesmen and women, true artisans who then instil the art of furniture making in our apprentices and trainees. The materials we use are Australian wherever possible, so ultimately your purchase supports the Australian economy and the future of our children, something we take great pride in.

Don’t settle for some cheap imported ‘knock off’ churned out in on offshore robotic factory whereby profits and employment are shifted offshore, offering no value to Australia’s future or your family’s security. Keep in mind we employ a local workforce – tradespeople apprentices and assistants – and it’s actually people like them who’s families depend upon local manufacturing. Buy Australian, buy Sulfaro.

Classic Hamptons Style Furniture

As we said earlier we are looking forward to re-opening in mid to late October with real passion and commitment. We so look forward to seeing you and not just our business re-opening but also all of our many friends and associates in the wider retail and hospitality community also re-opening for business. For updates please follow us on Facebook, Instagram or on our blog. Naturally we will provide full details on our website as soon as we are aware of the permitted arrangements.

In the meantime, you CAN ORDER from us. Email us at sulfaro@sulfaro.com.au or call us on 03 9872 4608 for ordering and price confirmation.
