The Furniture Revolution That Started in a Treehouse
Ten years ago, in a Sydney R&D space called Treehouse, a small team asked themselves a deceptively simple question: why does good furniture have to be complicated?
Today, that question has evolved into Koala, Australia's most thoughtful furniture innovator, and a brand that's quietly rewriting the rules of how we think about design, sustainability, and the way furniture fits into modern life.
The Long Game of Good Design
While the furniture industry rushes to market with seasonal collections, Koala takes a different approach. Each piece spends an average of 1.5 years in development, a luxury of time that shows in every detail.
The process begins not with aesthetics, but with problems. Real customer frustrations become the starting point for collaborative prototyping sessions where form and function evolve together. The result? Furniture that doesn't just look good in a showroom, but actually improves how people live.
Take their signature Comfy Sofa: customizable firmness levels, machine-washable covers, and interchangeable panels that adapt to changing needs. Or the Sleepy Bed, crafted with plant-based foams and breathable fabrics that prioritize both comfort and environmental responsibility.
Built for a Moving World
In an age of rental culture and flexible living, Koala's modular knock-down designs feel almost prophetic. Their furniture doesn't just ship efficiently, it lives efficiently, moving with people as their needs change.
The engineering is quietly brilliant: flat-pack cartons maximize truck loads while reducing carbon emissions. Pieces assemble and disassemble without compromising structural integrity. When clients relocate, reconfigure, or refresh their spaces, Koala furniture adapts seamlessly.
For design professionals, this translates to streamlined logistics, faster installations, and the flexibility to specify furniture that works across diverse project types, from boutique hotels to rental properties to corporate environments.
For trade professionals ready to experience the Koala difference, the full collection is now available through the Programa Trade Portal. Access trade pricing on signature pieces, benefit from dedicated support throughout the specification process, and offer clients the confidence of Koala's 120-night trial program.
