Barbera design, was established by Daniel Barbera in 2004, to create Australian made
furniture to supply the Australian and Asia Pacific Architectual Industry, and local Interior
designers with quality unique products.
Since the inception we have been working with world class leading architects, specifying
batch production products from our range, while also being able to offer custom solutions
with existing products or bespoke pieces. Barbera’s product ethos works around logical
design outcomes, and is process orientated working with old industrial processes fused
with modern technology and craftsmen, to deliver timeless quality furniture.
We are not limitied to a singlular material or process, but rather like to work with materials
and processes that suit the product and production volumes. Having worked in the past
with wire, moulded plastics, solid timber, leather, and recently cast bronze. We like to work
with natural unprocessed materials, that is naturally kind to us and the environment.
Since 2004, Barbera has exhibited at Launch Pad, Vivid, the Edge, Ready Made Market,
Fringe furniture, My name is House, Under Capricorn, Pop Ups, and Saturday Indesign. In
2004 Barbera exhibited 'Crooked Shady' at Fringe, and won the lighting award. Daniel
also participated in the 2008 Design Festival, at EatGreenDesign, part of Before&After, but
most recently exhibited a new solid timber range at the 2009 Design Made Trade, part of
the Melbourne Design Festival, and launched the ‘Bronze’ table.
