Our Story.
Founded in 1983 as an upholstery manufacturer on the simple values of service, quality, and value.
In 2019, we commenced timber joinery production, combining this with our decades of upholstery experience to produce exceptional furniture for commercial, hospitality and workspace.
Today we are well-resourced, with state-of-the-art equipment, technology and a dedicated team who is passionate about original Australian design and delivering outstanding local, customisable furniture. We match our simple aesthetic with quality upholstery, timbers, stone and metals to create overall value, with low material and labour waste and of course reliability, sustainability and longevity.

“We found Furniture by Design to be very professional. We put the pressure on them and they easily delivered. International manufactures can be unpredictable and in a world where lead-times blow out Furniture by Design delivered on time, keeping us constantly updated along the way. It was important for our client to use local Australian made products and knowing we could drive down the road to the factory was comforting. I would happily recommend Furniture by Design.”
