What started as an experiment has now become a passion.
After moving to Sydney in early 2010, getting a job didn’t seem too promising. So, with a few inspired words of support from friends, we reluctantly imported a 40ft container filled with Industrial furniture.
Not knowing what to expect, we took our chances. In September 2010, we arrived at a leading Trade Fair in Sydney with our sincere attempt at offering differentiated, quality, Industrial furniture to café & restaurant owners & Furniture retailers.
Like any (and every) new business, it takes a bit of luck, many sleepless nights, a lot of hard work, months and months of patience and a few kind individuals to get that first required break.
That break came in late 2011, when the promoters of a new age café situated in the warehouse district of Alexandria in Sydney, entrusted us to create a few customized Industrial pieces(Industrial Coffee Counters, Cast Iron Communal Tables, Outdoor Chairs, Display Trolleys and Carts) for their project.
We delivered. A Sydney Icon, The Grounds of Alexandria, was born. And that also began the mark of our journey.
It has been a fulfilling journey so far.
From our first big commercial break with The Grounds of Alexandria to Locomotive (a beautiful, quaint café and diner in Darlinghurst, NSW) , we have worked on various size projects as we continue to strive and be an integral support in the Modern Industrial Furniture Design revolution across Australia.
