In 1960 Nunzio Sulfaro arrived in Melbourne aboard the 'Roma' as a 'sponsored migrant'. Initially working for a well known Australian company, Nunzio was a highly skilled, highly regarded, formally trained Upholsterer who specialised in the crafting and construction of hand made fine furniture. A true Artisan, he longed to create his own furniture in the traditional European style he had been trained in.
His time came, starting from humble beginnings. First he started to make chairs in a spare room at his brother's house in Brunswick. Soon he moved to his own factory in North Coburg. His new wife Francesca started to work with him as a seamstress, as well as a mother to their two children.

Reupholstery
Report
For many people there is often the question as to whether a favourite sofa or lounge suite can be restored. Often the original springs have lost tension, the webbing has stretched and the fabric is either worn, stained or both. The timber framing can be damaged or attacked by insects. Sulfaro Furniture's craftsmen are experienced and have real expertise in determining whether a piece of furniture is worthy of saving.
Faq
Report
Leather is virtually maintenance free, provided that it is cared for properly. If you follow these simple instructions, your leather furniture should last a very long time. If you need to clean your leather, Sulfaro Furniture can supply a quality leather cleaning product that will meet all your maintenance needs.
Australian Made Furniture
Report
Much of the furniture currently on sale in Australia is imported. Low end quality upholstered furniture is shipped in from various Asian and third world locations. High end quality furniture is imported from Europe - Italy, Germany, Scandinavia and elsewhere, with import and transportation costs greatly adding to retail prices.
