The Benefits of Investing in Australian Made Furniture: A Journey with So Watt

When it comes to furnishing your home or workspace, there’s a distinct advantage in choosing Australian made furniture. At So Watt, a Sydney-based design studio specializing in plywood furniture, we’re passionate about creating pieces that are not only beautiful and functional but also ethical and sustainable. Here’s why investing in Australian made, bespoke furniture from So Watt is a smart choice for your space and the planet.

 

Quality and Durability: The So Watt Standard

One of the primary reasons to invest in Australian made furniture is the unparalleled quality and durability. At So Watt, our team of skilled creators and inventors meticulously crafts each piece, ensuring it meets our high standards. Our use of sustainable plywood and local materials guarantees that every item is built to last, making it a bold and smart investment for any home or office.

 

Eco-Friendliness: A Future-Friendly Choice

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do at So Watt. Our commitment to eco-friendly practices means that we use only locally sourced, sustainable materials, and we avoid “nasties” like MDF. By choosing Australian made furniture, you’re not only getting a durable product but also supporting practices that are kind to the environment. Our radical transparency in sharing the origins and processes of our materials means you can feel good about your purchase.

 

 

Supporting Local Economy: Buy Local, Shop Small

Investing in Australian made furniture supports local artisans and businesses, contributing to the growth and sustainability of the Australian economy. At So Watt, every piece is 100% Australian made by our dedicated team. By choosing to buy local, you’re helping to create jobs and foster innovation within the community. This support helps keep the spirit of craftsmanship alive in Australia.

 

Bespoke Furniture: Tailor-Made for Your Space

One of the standout features of So Watt is our ability to create bespoke furniture. We understand that every space is unique, and we love the challenge of designing tailor-made pieces that fit perfectly in your home or office. Our collaboration with clients ensures that each piece reflects their personal style and needs. Whether you need a versatile storage solution or a handsome statement piece, our custom designs can turn your vision into reality.

 

 

The So Watt Experience: Collaboration and Creativity

Our original brick two-storey Marrickville HQ is more than just a workshop; it’s a space where creativity and collaboration thrive. Open to the public, our workshop and showroom are places where clients can visit, chat with our team, and see our playful and intriguing designs up close. We also hold workshops and classes, inviting the community to engage with the process of creating beautiful, functional furniture.

Since our founding in June 2015, So Watt has grown from a small garage operation into a well-resourced design studio. This journey has been marked by continuous innovation and a commitment to original thinking. We embrace the art of tinkering and encourage our team to imagine and create without boundaries. This spirit of curiosity and exploration is evident in every piece of furniture we produce.

 

Versatile and Smart Design Solutions

At So Watt, we believe that good design should be both versatile and smart. Our pieces are designed to adapt to the ever-changing landscapes of modern homes and workplaces. From small-space heroes that maximize functionality in compact areas to bold and striking furniture that makes a statement, our designs are crafted to meet the diverse needs of our clients.

 

A Commitment to Transparency and Education

Transparency is a core value at So Watt. We believe in sharing our journey, from the sourcing of materials to the final touches on each piece. This commitment extends to our educational initiatives, where we aim to demystify the process of furniture making and empower our clients with knowledge. Education is the most powerful tool, and we use it to foster a deeper appreciation for the craft and the choices we make.
