Here at DRIA, all of our products are made in Melbourne right down to the inserts inside the cushions themselves. The desire for locally made, premium quality furniture was what drove the formation of DRIA. We just don’t see having to wait 6+ months for furniture to arrive from overseas practical. If you’re purchasing an item from us, you’ll want to be able to enjoy it as soon as possible.
The best solution we could find was to get everything made right here in Melbourne, and have it delivered to your doorstep as soon as its ready. This also helps to improve the local/Australian economy, by creating more jobs for our manufacturers. By purchasing from a local business, the goods also do not have to be transported very far and therefore reduce the amount of resources required to get them to you. Our products are manufactured and then delivered directly, which is awesome for keeping our carbon footprint low.
Knowing the people behind the brand is also another bonus when supporting small businesses. You can read more about the DRIA story in our ‘Studio’ tab. Hearing the stories, personalities and thoughts behind each product gives you that feel good sense every time you use your furniture. And its true, each time you purchase from a small business, someone somewhere does a little happy dance
