Fantastic Furniture is an Australian owned and operated furniture retailer. It is a subsidiary of Greenlit Brands.
History
Fantastic Furniture started as a market stall at Sydney's Parklea Markets in 1989, by friends Paul Harding and Jonathan De Jong, selling outdoor furniture. Two years later, the first Fantastic Furniture public store opened at Birkenhead Point.[2]
In 1992, the Fantastic Lounge Factory opened and started production of Australian made sofas and lounges for Fantastic Furniture.[3] Today, the Sydney-based factory is the largest manufacturer of sofas in the Southern Hemisphere and produce and deliver over 130,000 sofas and lounges each year.
In the following years, the business could not keep up with the demand and in 1996 it went into administration. The business was subsequently acquired by Peter Brennan, Peter Draper and Julian Tertini and underwent a restructure.[4] Over the next few years a number of Fantastic Furniture stores opened across NSW.
