ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR LOUNGE SUITE
This is the “Navajo” lounge design, one of Pacific Green’s newer designs. This design was released about 10 years ago. This suite has a unique look- it’s in Pacific Green’s trademark “resort” style but also has a contemporary, designer aesthetic. This sort of look is all the rage at the moment- resort but not “too-resort” if that makes sense- fresh, edgy, TIMELESS. I can’t see this design ever going out of style. Pacific Green has hit the nail on the head here! And furniture in this design is RARE- this is the first time I’ve seen one of these suite enter the secondary market. Miss this one and I doubt you’ll come across another one like this for some time … if ever. This Pacific Green design has its origins in the classic club chair. The distinctive upholstery pattern of the Navajo chair echoes the hand-stitching of traditional American fur coats. The ribbed-back design replicates the canoe-building techniques of the Native American Nations where bark skins were stretched over and lashed to wooden frames. The back and lumbar cushioning supports the sitter in all the right places- this lounge suite not only looks amazing but is so comfy to sit in too. And the armchair is of a size where you can find a plethora of comfortable seating positions. I love the stonewash leather as well- it adds a subtle point of interest without being too “over-the-top”. This upholstery is fresh, contemporary and fits in well with the resort-style vibe.
Further information about Pacific Green Furniture
Pacific Green Furniture is one of the most inspiring brands in the world. It’s an Australian brand with humble beginnings starting back in the early-1970’s (as Post & Rail Furniture). Today in 2024, over 50 years on, Pacific Green is one of the most coveted furniture brands not only in Australia but the world. Pacific Green Furniture items in the USA can sell for DOUBLE what they sell for here. I’ve been dealing in pre-loved furniture for 23 years now- it takes a lot for anything to stand out to me these days but Pacific Green without a doubt is exceptional in every regard. I specialise in finding items found in Australia- I don’t go overseas and fill up containers to bring here. We have so much inspiring stuff here in Australia there’s no need to. In my years in this business, I believe Pacific Green is the best furniture brand to ever come out of Australia. Tessa and FLER come close (but Tessa/FLER items tended to mimic what was done overseas at the time). Pacific Green does its own thing- their designs are distinctive, interesting, earthy, creative and certainly have “wow-factor”. But stunning design is a small part of the appeal. The quality is exceptional. The CRAFTSMANSHIP BY HAND is exceptional. The ethos of Pacific Green is exceptional.
Pacific Green Furniture uses SOLID coconut timber for the manufacture of all their furniture. Coconut wood is a HARDWOOD- more resilient than virtually any timber- it thrives in areas battered by tropical cyclones. Pacific Green Furniture use abandoned plantations of coconut palm trees in the South Pacific that were commercially planted in the early-1900s but have reached the end of productive fruiting. Instead of going to waste, Pacific Green uses this valuable SUSTAINABLE resource.
But the best part in my eyes is that Pacific Green set a benchmark for modern, sustainable business for other businesses to follow. In the late-1980’s land was leased, not bought, to respect indigenous ownership. The initial Pacific Green factory was built in consultation with surrounding villages and employed only local people. Business and skills training programmes were established. The initial Pacific Green factory is OWNED BY FIJIANS- the drive of the business is still Australian- the designing arm happens here in Australia.
I am inspired and heartened that a small Australian business changed tack the way they did back in the late-1980’s when ecological threats and socially-conscious business was barely thought of.
I love scouting to find exciting furniture. Furniture like this is the reason I do this job. Pacific Green Furniture ignites inspiration- PG ticks every box and proves that businesses can be successful, ecologically responsible and socially-aware. Pacific Green Furniture has been built to last and will continue to tell stories well after you and I are gone- just like Post & Rail furniture already has. Mark my words, Pacific Green will be the antiques of tomorrow. There’s no better way to invest in your home and reduce landfill.
