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!

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.

New Catalogue Items

This week we feature a new contemporary introduction to our exciting range of Accessories – Side Tables, Coffee Tables, Credenzas and Cabinets. Elegant, refined – let us introduce the Messina Coffee Table and the Messina Side Table, both nesting designs, available in Gold or Chrome with clear glass or optional tinted glass. Classic fine lines, a wonderful addition to your living room décor.

It’s a great opportunity to select a new dining setting from Sulfaro that really meets your needs. It could be that with regular entertaining, you require an extendable dining table to suit your living area and guest numbers. Alternatively, it may be that you’re considering downsizing as you’ve moved to a new apartment or townhouse. The need is for a smaller unit but again with a capacity to expand. At Sulfaro we offer a range of great possibilities in beautiful polished timber finishes, with glass, ceramic, marble and metallic finishes as well. The Sulfaro team will create dining chairs to match your selection, or alternatively we offer a wide range of floor stock to match.

Make a selection from our exquisite Sulfaro Collection of fine handcrafted upholstered furniture. Designed and hand built here in Melbourne at our well-equipped, modern Studio and workshop, all Sulfaro lounge suites, sofas, armchairs, occasional chairs and accessories are created under the watchful eyes of master craftsmen Nunzio Sulfaro, the family patriarch and founder of the business, and his son Santo Sulfaro, the current manager. Don’t be confused, the Sulfaro Collection is a unique selection of traditional, contemporary and modern furniture hand-made right here in Australia as it has been now for nearly 60 years. However, at Sulfaro we do not stock cheap imported copies from China, India or from other third world manufacturers.

The Sulfaro Signature range, our flagship selection, includes our most popular sofas with matching armchairs available with most designs. Our showrooms at 650-652 Whitehorse Rd Mitcham (directions below) display a wide range of options in sofas, lounge suites and dining settings, along with many beautiful accessories. Superb credenzas, side tables, coffee tables and lamps – a simply fantastic selection to complete your living spaces – elegant, sophisticated, refined – the Sulfaro Experience.

Right now is your opportunity to purchase directly from our floor stock to ensure a Christmas delivery – and a nice discount whilst our Spring Sale continues.

For many the chance to choose the colour, the fabric or leather, the timber finish and accessories such as piping, skirting, castors and cushioning is most attractive. At Sulfaro you can make these selections and custom design the furniture you desire. Select the sofa or lounge suite of your choice from our Sulfaro Collection. Browse our website and view the range of designs available in the Sulfaro Collection here.

Then make a time to meet with our design team to view the range of fabrics, leathers and accessories available. Call 03 9872 4608 and ask for Amelia Sulfaro to assist you.

(Please check whether ‘custom’ delivery is available pre-Christmas as this option will be unavailable shortly.)

To make a truly informed decision, the best option is for you and your family to literally take the time and schedule a visit to our showrooms and ‘take a seat’.
