NSW Golf Club furniture refurb

The club's armchairs

Located at the mouth of Botany Bay, NSW Golf Club is rated in the top 50 courses in the world. The club’s 150 dining, club and armchairs needed updating, but instead of replacing with new, Strand advised to give the existing stock a complete makeover. Years before, the club had invested in well-made seating and it was worth rejuvenating them. Each chair was stripped, re-glued, polished and re-upholstered to refresh the club’s interior while maintaining its tradition. One of the real challenges of the job was sourcing that wonderful striped fabric specified by the club. Thanks to our experience and fabric knowledge, we were able to track down the original mill in America and custom make the fabric again.

The result was a delighted client. “Our House Committee wanted to keep the original chairs and we were extremely happy with the furniture refurbishment work and the cost savings involved.  Working with Stuart has been easy and very professional,” says Michael Williams, House Manager of the NSW Golf Club.

The dining room

While Strand supplies furniture to club, hotel and corporate clients, its experience means that it can see the value in making something well. It’s one of the reasons why it represents the brands that it does. Our Papillion sofas, for example, are hand-made in Melbourne and are built to last with 15 year warrantees on its hardwood frames.

Easier and smarter: The Rug Collection’s new website

Like any design, a good one looks great and works well and the relaunch of The Rug Collection’s website (therugcollection.com.au) is an example of both.

The new site has been geared towards finding product more easily and large, clear imagery allows customers have a really good look at the rug’s colour, weave and texture.

Strand’s favourite feature? A clever search engine that will find rugs according to whatever colour, finish or texture you choose. It then puts them on the same page for you to compare more quickly and more easily.

Strand represents The Rug Collection because of its quality and range. Alongside its in-house collections, it has some of Australia’s freshest artists and designers including Jamie Durie, Signature, Nicola Cerini and Julu Wajaar with their own ranges. Most recently, The Rug Collection has released Designer Boys and Kas ranges and it promise that there are plenty more releases to come throughout the year.

With The Rug Collection, Strand can also offer the “In Vogue” custom-made rug program where you can create a rug to your required size, colour, shape and texture. With over 200 colours to choose from and a quick delivery time of approximately 6-7 weeks, you can create the perfect quality rug that will add the finishing touch to any design scheme. And with an international market growing rapidly, it can ensure delivery worldwide.
