What Bazaa does

Bazaa is an Australian online marketplace for vintage, antique, and designer furniture and homewares, founded in 2023 and operated by Bazaa Operations Pty Ltd from Sydney. The platform connects independent third-party sellers of pre-loved furniture with consumers across Australia, operating both as a curated multi-vendor marketplace and, in some cases, as a first-party seller. Core product categories include seating, storage, tables, beds, lighting, art, jewellery, rugs, and kitchenware, with more than 4,000 items listed and item prices ranging from approximately $90 for budget vintage pieces to over $45,000 for rare designer antiques. The business generates revenue through marketplace commissions charged to third-party sellers using the sell.bazaa.com.au portal and through direct inventory sales of curated pieces owned by Bazaa. Distribution is Australia-wide through a Shopify-based e-commerce storefront (bazaa.com.au), native iOS and Android mobile applications, a separate seller portal, and local pickup options in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. The company serves three primary customer segments: homeowners and interior design enthusiasts (primary), interior designers and stylists (secondary), and furniture resellers and curators (supply side). Technology is built on Shopify with custom integrations for marketplace seller management and delivery logistics, and the company has accumulated brand credibility through features in Marie-Claire Australia, Broadsheet, Sitchu, Russh, and Style Magazine, supported by an active Instagram community (@bazaa.interiors) with 26,000+ posts. Capital raised to date totals approximately $606,663 across two small rounds in March 2024 and June 2025, and the team is small (1-10 employees) and founder-led by co-founders Aria Wigneswaran and Thibault Henry.
