ABOUT US
At SLH, we embrace authentic artisanship and sustainability.
Every piece on our site serves a purpose to encourage original design and support our dear Mother Earth.
OUR STORY
Founded in 1999 by friends Damian and Sacha, SLH Furniture was inspired during our travels by the workmanship of the local Indonesian craftspeople. Upon our return we introduced contemporary, sustainable furniture to Australia, focusing on unique, functional solid wood designs.
In the heart of Sydney's CBD, they set up a small studio, introducing the city to the treasures they sourced. Their dedication to original design and eco-friendly products made them stand out.
What started as a modest venture soon gained momentum. Their first tradeshow in the following year was a turning point, and their import of high-end daybeds revealed an unexpected success.
As exclusive distributors of Karpenter and Houe brands in Australia, we also have a sister company, Mamagreen Australia, offering premium custom-made outdoor furniture.
Our warehouse and showroom in Lilyfield now stocks over 2000 products, sourced worldwide to meet your needs.We pride ourselves on product knowledge and customer service and look forward to assisting you with your next project.
SUSTAINABLE CHOICE
You're helping the planet when shopping with us.
Each FSC Teak tree used births five more, sustaining green canopies and supporting local livelihoods. The Solid wood and the timeless design ensures a longer life of our furniture that in turn furniture reduces waste, as less frequent replacements are needed.
While other brands like HOUE recycle plastic into stylish outdoor gems, preventing it from landfills and oceans. They also use Bamboo as a timber alternative. This remarkable material grows strong without the need for harmful pesticides, keeping the earth cleaner. Not just eco-conscious, bamboo’s durability ensures each piece of furniture stands the test of time

1999
The SLH journey unfolded long ago, with two university buddies exploring through Indonesia and discovering all the amazing furniture and homewares the country had to offer. It was there they were emboldened by their passion for the eclectic to open a tiny studio, originally in the heart of Sydney’s CBD, where they began selling what they sourced.
2000
The following year we exhibited at our first tradeshow, and soon after started importing a selection of daybeds in a bid to test the market appetite for high-end furniture. Little did we know how successful they would be.
2003
As we expanded into furniture, our business grew and were forced to move the business out of our city studio into a warehouse in Newtown in 2003. It only lasted two years before we moved to a larger warehouse space in Newtown.
2009
We became the exclusive suppliers of Karpenter Furniture and Mamagreen Outdoor Furniture.
2013
The market for recycled and upcycled furniture manufactured under free-trade and ethical work conditions has driven the business since, forcing us to again expand out warehouse in 2013 to the Lilyfield complex and showroom where we remain today.
2018
Rebranding as SLH in 2018 we now stock more than 2000 products, not only from Indonesia but from quality suppliers around the world
2020
Those university mates remain at the helm of SLH, although both of us have long ago married and have young families of our own.
At work and at heart we remain style hunters and design lovers sourcing beautiful products that make the most mundane living and office spaces pop with colour and style.
We have evolved so much since 1999, now stocking over 2000 products in our warehouse which is attached to our beautiful showroom, now in Lilyfield. Whilst we still source many products from Indonesia, we have expanded our search and now travel all over the world to find what you’re looking for.
