Celebrating ten years of innovation

In-house innovation

We design our products from the ground up, innovating to address real customer needs and redefining entire product categories. Our product design process starts with a problem or customer pain point, then with the customer's perspective at the forefront, we smash our brains together to discover novel, innovative solutions which balance form, functionality and sustainability. With an average of 1.5 years devoted to the design and development of each product, we ensure it's flawless when it reaches your home.

Engineered to move with the speed of life

Our modular, knockdown designs improve shipping efficiency and allow repeatable reassembly, addressing a key shortfall of traditional furniture. We’re committed to producing products that contribute to a circular economy, with longevity, movability and replaceability baked into the design process. No matter where or how many times our customers move home, they will always be able to come home to their comfy Koala furniture.

Designed for real-life

Our products are designed to adapt to your life—whether it’s washing the covers, adjusting the firmness, replacing parts, or refreshing the look with new fabrics and colours.

Our Sydney-based Global R&D Team are constantly innovating our products, then testing and refining the fabrications, components and designs to deliver optimal performance for real people who live real lives. It’s okay to be clumsy with Koala.

For a better planet

Sustainability is the foundation of Koala, creating long-lasting products with sustainable materials, reducing waste with circularity, and donating millions to wildlife causes. We select our materials based on what they cost the planet – not what they cost us. From using FSC®-certified timber to fabrics made from recycled and plant-derived materials, our goal is to influence the industry and change the way furniture is made for good.

Our Values

We do what is best for Koala over what is best for our egos. We face the truth,and we tell the truth. We are humble and kind. We operate as one team.
