It initially sounds impressive when you hear ‘Belguim designed’ or ‘Created by award-winning designer’ but, it is worth considering – if the furniture is made for a European or USA climate, is it really going to stand up to our incredibly harsh climate? ALL Osier Belle furniture has all been specifically designed with our extreme Australian weather in mind.
We are proud to say our factory is located in the heart of Cirebon, Java, an area that specialises in the skill of creating outdoor furniture. Our Belle factory is renouned as the ultimate factory for the highest level of quality and attention to detail. We are noted as the only one that specialises in first-class customised design. We are also known for how we look after our staff. We pay our fabulous team over the national minimum wage and provide many benefits not considered by other factories. Yes, this does make the furniture more expensive to produce but we believe in being respectful and consistently rewarding for skills and loyalty our extensive team of over 80 workers share with us. As for other retailers, do not be fooled into being told it is made in Italy or Los Angeles. It is not. Osier Belle spent many months looking at different factories to potentially make our designs – we have been to them all. We know where all our competition has their furniture made – and it is not far from our very own factory in Java, Indonesia. It is important the retailer is respectfully honest with you about this.
Any business that sells wood furniture from overseas should be able to readily provide legitimate certification from the country of source. If they cannot, please do not purchase as this timber does not support and protect the planet, the wildlife or the people of that country. If would you like to see our Indonesian Legal Wood verified certificates, simply ask one of our staff.
Due to the severity of our weather in Australia, all timber experts recommend applying protection on outdoor furniture prior to usage. As a customer, we believe you shouldn’t be responsible for completing this messy and critical step. Rather than using a varnish (which simply sits on the surface and will fake), we directly export the industries’ most reputable brand, Cutek, to our factory. We apply this protection onto your furniture and let it fully absorb for four weeks. Cutek soaks into teak and protects it from the inside out, resisting cracking and staining (www.cutek.com.au). Options we offer include ‘Clear’ (protecting whilst allowing the wood to patina) or ‘Black Ash’ (deepens and removes the classic red look of teak).
Our founder and designer personally runs the showroom, has 100% input to every single detail of each piece specifically designed for Australia, sourcing the best materials in the world. No dealing with a 3rd party manufacturer. We are your designer, manufacturer and customer service expert.
The furniture is designed by British/Australian Citizen, Penny Camplisson, the Founder and Owner of Osier Belle who has lived in Sydney for nearly 20 years. The factory is located in Cirebon, Java where we have a highly skilled (and valued) team who make our furniture for you. The expertise and expense to make what we create in Australia is simply not possible. Teak, the most durable timber available for outdoor furniture cannot be sourced in Australia and if it were shipped and then made here, the prices would be unrealistic for retail sale. If you visit a store that suggests it is made in Australia or Europe (or USA!), we would recommend you push for confirmation this is true as we know all the factories that produce for these retailers (and they are not far from ours!).
Yes, we are one of the few brands that has been specifically designed for the harsh Australian climate. Other factory mass produce for the European and USA markets, are seeing these brands available over here. Our designer, Penny, lives here in Sydney, apprecaiting the extreme weather our outdoor furniture needs to endure. Osier Belle furniture has been made with the absolute best materials, right down to the thread, to ensure it can stay outdoors all year round, including the cushions. Joints and finishes are carefully considered without compromise so that is why we are one of the few to proudly offer a 5 year warranty on all our furniture, with happy customers who are still enjoying their original purchases many years post their warranty.
Yes, every element of our furniture has been carefully considered with the planet and longevity in mind. All materials are purchased from brands that are environmentally-friendly and aware – more details can found, by brand, on our Materials page; simply click through to their websites (link). Our teak is brought from a trusted supplier in Jepara (NOT from the plantation dealers who supply to our competitors); he will only sell to reputable factories that treat their workers well and respect the timber. It is all fully certified by FSC and TFT and it is very expensive but this is reflective of the expense and efforts he and his team go to ensure their process legitimate and respectful to the environment. We use every piece of the teak in our designs, with products like our wine racks introduced to use the leftover pieces. Our factory is very environmentally conscious and we also go above and beyond to look after our Belle family (our factory workforce) and their families.
