The story of fanuli

A family business spanning three generations, Fanuli has been a leading supplier of contemporary Italian & Australian designer furniture since 1976.

The beginnings

Giuseppe Fanuli, founder of the iconic Fanuli family brand, left his home in Italy and travelled halfway across the world to Australia in 1956. With nothing but a dream and an unshakable determination to succeed with an artisanal skill in cabinetry, he opened Fanuli Furniture with the support of his family.

Fanuli is born

Giuseppe Fanuli’s dream of opening his own furniture store became a reality in 1976, when he established the first Fanuli store in Sydney. With a wealth of experience as a cabinet maker, Giuseppe had a unique understanding of the products he sold and was committed to only stocking the highest quality furniture.

Driven by his unwavering dedication to excellent customer service and refusal to become complacent, Fanuli grew steadily over the years.

In 1995, the next generation of Fanuli’s took over, with Giuseppe’s three sons; Fabio, Sandro, and Carlo at the helm. While the family connection ensured continuity in Fanuli’s identity and culture, the brothers fresh perspective led to a defining shift in the company’s strategy. Fanuli began to focus more on high-end Italian brands, cementing its reputation as a purveyor of exquisite, quality furniture.

Fanuli today

Fanuli are renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship and timeless designs, cementing their place in the industry for offering some of the highest quality designs of furniture and lighting.

Giuseppe’s legacy lives on through his family’s continued commitment to his core values, with the third generation of the family now an integral part of the growing business.

Importantly, we are the exclusive suppliers for a number of leading Italian brands including Flexform, Kristalia, MD House and Riva 1920. These brands are constantly innovating, working with world-leading designers to create pieces that are unique and built to last, crafted from the finest
