Inspirational Designs

A sofa in the perfect shade of green. A table that fits your dining space flawlessly. A sideboard that holds all your records just right.

We live for the moments of inspiration, the feeling of finally finding the right piece for your home, whether it’s the final piece or the first in a space transformation.

The emotional connection we form with inspiring designs drives us, and seeing our customers have their ah-ha moment is enthralling.

Design Pillars

Emotional Connection

We create products we love, with the hope you’ll love them too.

Whether it’s an impactful colour, interesting shape or small design detail, the intangible emotional connection to a design is what drives us.

Choosing furniture for your space should be an exciting, rewarding experience, and at the centre of that are designs that you feel strongly towards.

Enduring Aesthetics

The inspiration we feel for a product at its creation should shine brightly years down the road, and crafting products with enduring style is incredibly important to us.

We’re influenced by trends, but never follow them. We find a balance between unique, interesting details and incredible functionality that makes interacting with our pieces a joy from day one to day one thousand.

Our design team refine designs endlessly to find the right balance between style and substance, the end result bringing products to homes around Australia that will aesthetically please many years down the road.

Forever Evolving

Evolution is key, and we never stand still.

Designing our products in house ensures we can listen deeply to customer feedback, whether improving existing pieces or analysing emerging trends and product use cases.

RJ Living products are a result of decades of in house experience and an always looking forward mentality. We search for new, interesting materials, explore unique production methods and constantly ask how we can re imagine an existing concept in a new, imaginative way.

Australian Lifestyle

At the core of our design philosophy is the Australian Lifestyle. It guides us as a brand, and is central to creating pieces you’ll love to live with, and stand the test of time.

It’s a feeling of welcoming, of creating a space for relaxation and celebration.

We achieve this through the small details. Curved timber where others would choose angles. Soft close drawers where others would chose not to. Fabrics blending texture and style with high durability.

It’s the small factors that create something much greater, the ability for our pieces to effortlessly integrate into your home, and realise your Australian Lifestyle.

The Small Details

From soft touch cotton blend fabrics to feeling the grain in natural timbers, the tactile, personal relationship we have with furniture is incredibly important.

When you open a drawer, sit down on your sofa, the feeling of quality, of reliability and comfort is something we strive to constantly. We rigorously test to ensure our pieces feel great to interact with, day in day out.

Likewise, receiving your furniture is an incredibly exciting experience, and we strive to ensure seamless arrival and installation. Sofas are modular where possible to easily fit into any home, and products have minimal assembly requirements so you can enjoy them immediately.

For the Everyday

Furniture is a part of our everyday life. It evolves with your space, moves from home to home, and even through generations.

Crafting products with a long term, customer centric view is essential to us, and product longevity only comes through a commitment to quality materials and production.

From Solid European Oaks, commercial grade fabrics, durable vegan leathers and world renowned Blum and DTC hardware, we obsess over the small details that will keep RJ Living pieces enduring for many years to come.

Our Sustainability Ethos

Collaborative Approach

Our dedication to quality comes from deep, involved relationships with all our makers. We partner with businesses carried through generations, their knowledge of furniture production ensuring an incredible attention to detail.

Close collaboration with our makers allows us to design pieces to fit specific production specialities, leading to a high level of quality execution, and effective production meaning we can keep our prices as low as possible.

Our team both locally and overseas ensure a rigorous three tier inspection process is followed for all products, giving you confidence upon furniture arrival, and we constantly visit our makers to improve production processes, obsessively fix any defects and workshop new designs.
