The JamFactory Furniture Collection is the latest initiative from the company to support its aim of raising awareness and stimulating opportunities for Australian design and craftsmanship.
The collection offers furniture and lighting’s been developed under direction of Jon Goulder, one of Australia’s leading designers and current JamFactory Furniture head. The Collection is being launched with a range of pieces designed by some of Australia’s best-known designers and talented young up and comers.
“The Collection will create opportunities for our training Associates, from pitching new designs for consideration through to hands-on involvement in design development, prototyping and presenting works to market” says Goulder
Celebrated designers Adam Goodrum, Karen Cunningham, Henry Wilson and South Australian duo Daniel Emma, have been enlisted for the introductory collection, illustrating the seriousness and ambition of this new initiative.

JamFactory’s CEO Brian Parkes says, “Along with creating real market opportunities for Australian designers, the Collection will eventually contribute to retaining skills and growing jobs in the value-added manufacturing sector in South Australia.”

In the first instalment of our three-part series exploring what it means to sit your best, we pose the question to Gray Puksand’s Dale O’Brien, who discusses the importance of ease and majority rule when it comes to sitting and reveals why specifying a task chair is not unlike choosing a Volvo.

In the second instalment of our performance seating three-parter, we turn to DKO’s Michael Drescher and Jacob Olsen to peek behind Sayl’s confident architectural form and explore the ideas of inclusivity, adaptability and freedom to move as hallmarks of what sitting your best actually means.
