In 2021, Design Furniture will celebrate 35 years as one of Australia’s industry leaders in the design and manufacture of upholstered furniture.

The company has celebrated wonderful milestones of achievement but also has weathered its’ share of stormy times and come out all the more resilient and determined to remain a solid symbol of innovation quality and great service.

In 1986, Design Furniture first opened its’ doors to begin trading as a wholesale manufacturer. Some of its’ key clients were David Jones, Harvey Norman and Domayne stores nationwide.

In 2005 almost 20 years later the original owners of Design Furniture retired and handed over the reigns to their Production Manager Sandro Magnera and his wife Lisa. With a background in Business Management and Design the couple began working tirelessly to re-brand the company.

At this time, the demand for Australian made furniture was steadily decreasing, and cheaper cut price imports were speedily increasing. The company discerned an urgent need to establish a point of difference. With this in mind, a niche market was created for designers, architects, retailers and informed clients who were passionate about quality, innovation and excellent service.

With a new marketing strategy, a new logo and a modern refurbishment of the showroom, Design Furniture was set to make a comeback!

Not only did Design Furniture survive the market slump, but it grew and flourished, and today is enjoying award winning success and prosperity.
