committed to quality


We choose materials that meet both performance and environmental standards, including FSC®-certified timbers, closed-loop recyclable components, and low-emission finishes. And because our furniture is designed to last, it helps reduce waste and the need for frequent replacement.

“Furnware were incredibly supportive, helping us to achieve our goals, finding solutions within budget and getting things here on time. The furniture is just phenomenal, with fantastic warranties, so I've got peace of mind that it’s going to last and stand the test of time.”

Neil Smith - former principal at Australian International School, Singapore
