Walking around the new Poliform showroom in Alexandria does exactly what it is supposed to do: you picture yourself living the perfect, stylish life in your perfectly organised kitchen with a perfectly organised wardrobe. Magic. And how do they do it?

The walk-through room set-ups are the stuff interior dreams are made of. Kitchens that are almost too nice to cook in, and wardrobes with doors made of hand-stitched leather. Poliform's home solutions are lush, bespoke jobs, elevating the humble storage system or kitchen bench to something to be admired. And now they have a sparkling new Sydney showroom where you can open, close and breathe on all their lovely wares.

In Australia since 1996, Poliform’s beds, sofas, wall systems, kitchens and wardrobes are exemplary of smart, functional Italian design. Along with its namesake brand, Poliform also sells Arflex and Porada, and lighting from Pallucco Italia and Oluce.

What got us really excited? The oval marble dining table (even though there is still no magic bullet to keep marble mark-free), and the new concrete kitchen bench insert. Fab.
