Imported bargains might look tempting, but they often come at a hidden cost: flimsy construction, fast-wearing finishes, and little regard for how Australians actually live. If you want furniture that lasts, tells a story, and supports something bigger than just your living room, the answer is close to home.
Furniture Designed for Australian Living
Australia’s climate is tough on furniture. From blazing summer heat to salty coastal air and cool winters, generic imports rarely measure up.
That’s where local design shines. At Australian Design & Co (AD&Co), every piece is created with our homes and lifestyles in mind. Native timbers, breathable fabrics, clever joinery and textures inspired by our natural landscapes mean your furniture doesn’t just fit your space—it belongs in it. It’s built to look beautiful from day one, and to still feel right ten years later.
Lasting Quality, Built Responsibly
When you buy local, you see every stage of the process. No mystery factories, no questionable materials—just craftsmanship you can trust.
AD&Co work with Australian makers who favour solid hardwoods, responsibly sourced timbers and low-VOC finishes. The result? Furniture that avoids the pitfalls of fast furniture: cracked veneers, toxic off-gassing, landfill guilt. Independent certifications, like FurnTech, stand behind that promise.
This commitment pays off where it matters most—pieces so well-made they’re handed down, not thrown out.
Supporting Local Jobs and Creativity
Every dollar spent on Australian design fuels more than just your home. It feeds back into the wider economy, generating jobs, apprenticeships and innovation. In fact, every million dollars invested in local manufacturing injects more than $700,000 into Australia’s GDP and creates six full-time roles.
By choosing AD&Co, you’re backing not only your own lifestyle, but the future of Australian design on the world stage. With the domestic furniture market forecast to surpass $4 billion by 2034, now is the time to invest in local.
Value That Outlasts Price Tags
While imports might seem cheaper up front, the hidden costs add up fast—repairs, replacements, and environmental damage. By contrast, Australian-made pieces mean fewer headaches, less upkeep, and enduring style.

Since 2013, AD&Co has been at the forefront of championing Australian design and talent. Whether it’s lighting for heritage homes, outdoor chairs shaped for the coast, or sofas perfectly scaled to city apartments, their work is guided by one principle: making Australian homes feel complete.
