Q. What was appealing about collaborating with The Ark Clothing Co?
We have a strong affection for The Ark Clothing Co. While different in our offerings, we create designer furniture and they offer beautiful quality clothing, their story resonates deeply with ours. The Ark’s success story is a tribute to an Australian brand that believes in beautiful ethically and sustainably made designs right here in Australia. To grow it to the scale they have is no mean feat. The passion is obvious not only in their designs, but the quality they execute and how they always strive to give their customers the best possible experience.
Q. Why is locally made important to FrancoCrea?
We are very proud all our luxury furniture is designed and made right here in Melbourne and Adelaide by FrancoCrea. Preserving local craftsmanship is of the utmost importance to us. Australia has a wonderful design community and we strive to maintain and foster the local artistry of creating high-end furniture pieces on Australian soil.
Q. What makes FrancoCrea furniture unique?
At FrancoCrea we combine classic materials with new materials not commonly utilised in designer furniture to get the best possible outcome for our client’s needs. One of the biggest concerns we hear is the desire to have high-end furniture without high maintenance. We design and create highly durable yet elegant tables. We specialise in Corian® solid surface tabletops. Corian® has a wonderful non-porous, anti-bacterial nature to help avoid stains, and it’s totally repairable should it ever be accidentally scratched or damaged. All FrancoCrea luxury furniture pieces are individually made to order specifically to suit our special clients. This means each piece of furniture has its own authenticity certificate and nameplate to verify it is a genuine designer furniture piece.
