ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PIECE

These Pacific Green planter boxes are not common. This is the first one I’ve ever had the opportunity of stocking. Great quality. Great design. Great INVESTMENT. These retail for about TRIPLE this price. This piece won’t lose any value. I doubt Pacific Green could even make them for this! Nice shape and complex construction with the steel sub-structure. This piece was MADE IN FIJI in the 1980’s- this is vintage Pacific Green. The new ones retail for $785!

Background Info about Pacific Green

(Mainly written in 2016 but updated in 2025.)

An exceptional quality planter box, HAND-CRAFTED by highly-awarded company, PACIFIC GREEN. Pacific Green Furniture is at the top in my eyes- they offer it all and have their own original style others wouldn’t even try to copy. This is one of the best lounge suites to come through iNVISeDGE for some time. LOVE it! Pacific Green has taken resort furniture to a whole new level here. The design has such a distinct tropical-island feel to it and make no mistake … this is COMMERCIAL-GRADE furniture. It hasn’t been built to last one or two generations- Pacific Green is making stuff that I believe will last FOREVER. Look at the metal sub-structure here! You won’t see anything like it in virtually any of the furniture out there today.

Pacific Green originated from the Post & Rail brand which started in Sydney in the 1970’s and is heralded for its construction quality. Post & Rail grew into an international brand and in the late-1980’s they did the unthinkable. With a highly successful brand they changed tack completely. With the world’s new concern with deforestation and ecological threats, Post & Rail closed and re-branded as Pacific Green. Pacific Green searched the world for a sustainable quality timber for their future furniture production- the solution? Coconut wood. In the South Pacific, they found vast abandoned plantations of coconut palm trees, which were commercially planted in the early-1900s but had reached the end of productive fruiting. The best part? Coconut wood is a HARD-WOOD that’s more resilient than virtually any timber. It thrives in areas battered by tropical cyclones.

After I’d found out that, I not only wanted the suite I’d found but wanted to start stocking new Pacific Green furniture in iNVISeDGE (which would be a first for us because we currently sell only pre-loved furniture). But there’s more. Pacific Green set a benchmark for modern, sustainable business in the Pacific. In the late-1980’s land was leased, not bought, to respect indigenous ownership. Their factory was built in consultation with surrounding villages and employed only local people. Business and skills training programmes were established. The factories in Fiji are owned by Fijians- the drive is still Australian- the designing arm and retailing strategy happens here in Australia.

Pacific Green Furniture today has grown from that little furniture-making firm that started in the Rocks, Sydney back in 1973 (as Post & Rail). I am inspired and heartened they changed tack back in the late-1980’s when ecological threats were barely thought of. I can write nothing critical about these chairs or Pacific Green so I am now a salesman for new Pacific Green Furniture (this is a first for iNVISeDGE).

The best thing about Pacific Green Furniture is the inspiration it evokes- Pacific Green ticks every box and proves that businesses can be successful, ecologically-responsible and socially aware. This lounge suite has been built to last generations and will continue to tell stories for centuries to come (probably forever)- Pacific Green furniture will be the antiques of tomorrow. There’s no better way to invest in your home and reduce landfill.
