In house to end up in your house. One hundred percent Australian made; designed, developed, tested and produced.

We don’t see it any other way. This is the way and we feel particularly strong about it.

Process for us is about holding onto skills, developing new ones and sharing that knowledge. It’s about communication and commitment; to our team and community and also our future. It’s about providing all we learn to our clients and customers, friends and family. To give the very best of what we do to you.

Process means every step of the way is under control, in our control. Environmental concerns aren’t just marketing buzz terms but essential to our development and growth.

Our timber is responsibly sourced, just as the foam and feathers are. Waste is recycled and finds use in products down the line or in other industries. Glues and adhesives are clean and gravity fed (not dispersed into the air) making sure everyone is safe and healthy.

Jardan holds several certificates of world and industry leading environmental compliance and manufacturing for all aspects of business and production. Timber, foam, feathers and plastic, upholstery, wool, steel, paints and finishes all adhere to the absolute highest of standards in their respective bodies. We are carbon neutral and support Australian and international reforestation and clean waterways where applicable.

Because without just one of these elements we’ve lost our way. Equality and fairness, happiness and wellbeing are crucial to good outcomes. Planning for the future is about investing in now and it need not be a chore. It’s part of the fabric at Jardan and everyone we employ is a part of that.

Process means Australian made, but even more than that, it means well made. It means market leading, not just participating. It’s not just about clean workshops and local production either. Process is the participation of all.

A design comes out of our studio and materials and tech will assess the plausibility of the design. Models are built and textiles tested. Our engineers run their hands over it and if it’s ready, the first version is made. Our carpenters and makers develop patterns and moulds, the cutters and sewers make casings and cushions, feathers and foam are added and the final gets closer. Nimble upholsterers work fast and clean and the parts come together. A new piece has been born and the many corners of the factory have all been touched. A product greater than the sum of its parts stands proud and the process is ready to be repeated.

But all of this is useless if we’re not setting the bar for what’s right and what could and should be normal.

Every day we come to work because the results speak for themselves. Because rather than just provide a piece of furniture, we make it from scratch and in doing so, we retain the skills needed to provide a better future for everyone.

We love our reputation and vision of ourselves as a casual Australian, someone who loves the beach and the coastline. This is who we are, but without a dedicated team of smart and able people willing to commit to the targets and goals we set for ourselves we couldn’t do any of it.

This is our team and those who make it happen. This is process. This is us.
