Reissued restyles vintage/retro furniture and other products for the home. Furniture, which has lost its appeal, is reused, through restoration and/or renewal of its original design credentials. Other second hand goods for the home are selected and given a new purpose, i.e. tablecloths to pillowslips or pictures to cushion covers.

The furniture that is restyled is generally Australian made chairs (large and small) and a variety of ottomans/stools. Twentieth century modern furniture is generally favoured however any furniture with particular design appeal is included. Furniture is found locally.

Furnishing fabrics sourced for the furniture redesigns, or other products are either; new sustainable fabrics (including eco wool and recycled fabrics), hand printed organic cottons, canvas or hemps, vintage pieces or upholstery off cuts. All sourced in Australia.

Other products currently included in the Reissued range are cushions/pillow slips, light fittings, small tables & ceramics. It is envisaged that some new home wares products will be included in the near future if they satisfy the sustainability criteria in their creation.

Reissued also welcomes commission work. Many people don’t have the time or inclination to source furniture, fabrics and design concepts and yet still want furniture that is unique and beautiful. Furniture that is not expensive and is sustainable.
