Our Story
Sharing life with you since 1979.
We opened our doors in 1979, originally under the name of The Great Australian Design Company. In the 1980s the business was purchased by two brothers who renamed and rebranded the company. Today, trading as OZ Design and led by our long-term Managing Director, the business operates 40 furniture stores across the eastern seaboard of Australia along with our online store.
We are an Australian family owned and operated business that takes care of our stakeholders. We have employees who have been with us for over 25 years and relationships with Australian manufacturers and suppliers that have lasted over 15 years who we continue to work with today.
We’re family-run ourselves and understand the life that gets lived inside our homes. We’re here to transform your home into a space that fits you and create a space that will be there for you for life.
