Tuesday 19th May, 2026
10:00 am – 1.30 pm
Join Zuster at their Hawthorn showroom for a morning design talk by Director's Fleur
& Wilhemina, followed by a manufacturing tour. Across Zuster's two
Melbourne locations, they are taking attendees behind the curtain to experience
the design and manufacturing process.
Zuster Furniture has been designing and manufacturing furniture in Melbourne since
1994. In their over 30 years of experience, Zuster has embraced a future-ready
approach across all stages of the design and manufacturing process to deliver
collections that meet the needs of today's world and generations to come.
Zuster Showroom Welcome
The event will begin with a welcome at their Hawthorn showroom. Discover the latest collection and hear from Zuster's Directors about their approach to designing handcrafted pieces for a technology-led world.
Factory Tours
The event will continue at Zuster Manufacturing in Thomastown, located
approximately 45 minutes from our Hawthorn showroom. As the engine room of the brand, this manufacturing hub houses four dedicated factories, each focused on a distinct discipline across furniture, bathroom and upholstery production.
Guests will experience firsthand how our pieces are designed, engineered and crafted, moving through the spaces where raw materials are transformed into finished work. The tour offers a rare insight into contemporary Australian
manufacturing and the skilled craftsmanship that underpins every Zuster product.
Networking and Thank You at the Zuster Hawthorn Showroom
After the tour, attendees will be welcomed back to Zuster's Hawthorn showroom. Get the chance to mingle with other event attendees surrounded by featured pieces in Zuster's latest collection.
see you there
