Each year in
Australia it’s
estimated that over
200,000 tons of
furniture is sent to
landfill each year.

That’s the
equivalent of
2 million 3 seat
sofas thrown out
every year.

Cultivated

At Government Furniture, we believe in the quality and longevity of exceptional design. We believe that that one of the best strategies for sustainable living is to make and buy things that last. We believe in creating a sustainable circular economy for authentic furniture and lighting.

This is why we have partnered with Cultivated, a product stewardship program that provides buy back, refurbishment and recycling services for authentic designer furniture.

From a single lounge chair in need of re-upholstering, to an entire office space of worn-out seating, Cultivated work with local manufacturers and craftspeople to restore, reinvigorate or recycle original design, creating a sustainable circular economy for authentic furniture and lighting.

WHAT WE DO.

1

BUY BACK

  • We assess your furniture pieces and place a value on that piece of furniture.

  • We purchase the piece, giving you the value as a credit to add to your new design or next project.

  • We refurbish the piece and place it back into the market as a Cultivated product, generally at a significantly lower price than a brand new design
2

REFURBISH

  • We assess your furniture piece and provide a quote for refurbishment.

  • Once the quote is accepted, we work with local manufacturers and craftspeople to restore your piece before returning it to your home or project site.
3

RECYCLE

  • If a product is beyond restoration or if refurbishment is not possible, we supply a quote to collect your product and recycle it for you.
