Our Story

Three Generations. 45 Years. Proudly Australian Made.

Founded in 1981 by Trevor and Anne Winter, Flamingo Furniture began as a small family business in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, built on a passion for quality furniture, skilled craftsmanship and making things to last.

45 years later, Flamingo Furniture remains proudly family owned and Australian made. Today, the business is led by second-generation Director Brooke Winter, who has grown up with Flamingo and continues to build on the foundations established by her parents while taking the business into its next chapter.

From our factory in Lilydale, Victoria, our experienced team manufactures furniture for the commercial, aged care, hospitality, education and residential sectors. From one-off custom pieces through to large-scale projects involving hundreds of items, our furniture is made by our team, right here in Australia.

Over the years, we’ve invested in modern machinery, expanded our capabilities and continued to evolve, but our core values haven’t changed — quality workmanship, genuine service, supporting local jobs and keeping furniture manufacturing in Australia.

With the third generation now growing up around the business, we’re incredibly proud of where Flamingo has come from and even more excited about where it’s going.

Three generations. 45 years of experience. Family owned. Australian made.

Australian Made & Craftsmanship

Every Flamingo Furniture piece is proudly manufactured by our skilled team in the Yarra Valley, Victoria.

With 45 years of manufacturing experience, we combine traditional furniture-making skills with modern machinery and precision manufacturing to produce quality furniture that is made to last.

Our capabilities extend across solid timber, timber veneer and commercial board products, allowing us to manufacture everything from individual custom pieces through to large-scale commercial projects.

We work across the commercial, aged care, hospitality, education and residential sectors, with the flexibility to customise sizes, timbers, finishes and designs to suit each project.

For us, Australian Made means more than where our furniture is manufactured. It means supporting local jobs, maintaining skilled trades and continuing a proud tradition of Australian furniture manufacturing.

Made locally. Made with care. Made to last.

Sustainability & Community

At Flamingo Furniture, we believe quality furniture starts with quality materials and responsible manufacturing.

We work with a wide range of Australian and imported timbers, including Victorian Ash, Tasmanian Oak, Messmate, Blackwood, Jarrah, Cypress, Mountain Ash, Feature Grade hardwoods, American Oak, Beech and more — carefully selected to suit the design, application and performance requirements of each piece.

Where possible, we source timber from responsibly managed and sustainable sources, while our local manufacturing allows us to make considered choices around materials, minimise waste and create furniture designed for longevity rather than replacement.

As a family-owned Australian manufacturer, supporting our community is equally important to us. We employ local people, support skilled trades and apprenticeships, work with other Australian businesses and contribute to local charities, schools and community initiatives.

For us, sustainability is about more than materials — it’s about making furniture that lasts, supporting local jobs and helping ensure Australian manufacturing and craftsmanship continues for future generations.
