All about Mamagreen

The quality, eco-friendly outdoor furniture wholesaler.


What does your company supply?

Mamagreen is an outdoor furniture wholesaler specialising in innovative contemporary eco-friendly design. We supply dining tables and chairs, loungers and casual settings, pool loungers, accessories and outdoor storage solutions.


What’s the history of your company (how did it start)?

In 2007 Belgian designer/entrepreneur Vincent Cantaert had the idea to start a new brand of high-end outdoor furniture. He understood that there is a growing niche for cutting edge eco-friendly outdoor design. In 2008 Sounds Like Home Pty Ltd became the exclusive distributor for Mamagreen in Australia. Mamagreen has grown substantially and has become in 2011, a global brand.

Where do you distribute?

Mamagreen furniture is available world-wide via distributors across the Americas, Europe, including Germany, Switzerland, France, The Netherlands, Belgium & UK, and the Asia-Pacific region. Sounds Like Home is the exclusive distributor for Mamagreen Australia wide. 

 

Describe your customers?

Mamagreen’s customers aren’t influenced by fashion or trends, instead they value design that compliments their everyday living and advances their outdoor areas. They’re drawn to premium furniture that exudes quality and respects the environment.

What sets your company apart?

Our selection of quality materials and use of FSC accredited recycled teak separates us from our peers; with us, you get a balance between the rustic and the contemporary. The contrast between the natural beauty of recycled teak with all its character and history and new materials such electro-polished stainless steel and premium outdoor fibers is what our customer’s enjoy and value. 

 

Who should we speak to when specifying?

You can speak with Damian, Sacha or Ben at the Mamagreen Showroom located at Sounds Like Home’s headquarters in Newtown Sydney. They’re always available to give a quote, meet your demands and listen to your needs.

What are your client’s priorities at the moment?

They value quality of life, family and friends and they’re not driven by trends, or fooled by imitations. They understand the value of investing in quality furniture that can withstand the outdoors. Our clients seek a superior level of comfort; Mamagreen seating is renowned for its ergonomic superiority. 

 

What is good design to you?

At Mamagreen design is about function, quality and eco-friendliness. It’s important that outdoor furniture respects the environment and that’s why we use FSC accredited recycled teak and not just for its superiority, unique character and oil-richness. Outdoor furniture doesn’t have to be flashy, glossy and synthetic – subtlety and substance are more effective. Of course, we understand the need every now and then for design to be fun and escapist – we think our new Mazzamiz range achieves this!

 

What does the future hold?

Mamagreen listens to its customers and tomorrow always presents a new need and desire – our design and distribution reflects this. Sounds Like Home aims to increase Mamagreen’s commercial and retail presence in the Australian market, demand for our products supports this. Our customer will always speak and we will always listen. Mamagreen’s 2012 range is it’s best yet, we can’t wait to share it with you!
