Krost Furniture Pty Ltd

What Krost Furniture Pty Ltd does

Krost Furniture Pty Ltd, trading as Krost Business Furniture, is an Australian commercial office furniture supplier and manufacturer founded in 1989 and headquartered in Mascot, Sydney. The company designs, manufactures and distributes a comprehensive portfolio spanning workstations (including height-adjustable systems), seating (task, executive, training, occasional, stools, benches, lounges), desks, meeting and training tables, space divisions, reception counters, storage, custom joinery, training boards and workplace accessories. Notable proprietary offerings include the Good Design Award-winning Vada Wall Panelling system, the Ace dual-motor height-adjustable workstation, the Zora wraparound privacy screen, the Lua premium monitor arm and the AFRDI-certified Kove heavy-duty task chair.

The business operates through two distinct commercial channels. The primary B2B channel (krost.com.au) runs a consultative enterprise sales motion delivered through workspace specialists, supported by physical showrooms in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and a design resources portal providing CAD/Revit files, finishes libraries and textiles catalogues for architects and interior designers. A secondary B2C channel (store.krost.com.au) sells in-stock furniture directly online to mid-market and SMB buyers. Revenue is generated through one-time commercial furniture sales, custom-quoted fit-out and joinery project contracts, and unit-priced online retail, with no subscription or recurring revenue model.

Customer engagement is project-led, with named engagement examples spanning financial services (MA Financial corporate HQ), architecture practices (Paolo Pianezze Architects), commercial fit-out contractors (Canopy Fitouts), construction (Hickory) and large commercial property addresses (341 George St, 500 Pacific Hwy). The legal entity structure comprises two related Australian private companies — Krost Furniture Pty Ltd (ACN 125 605 290) and Krost Business Furniture Centre Pty Ltd (ACN 003 783 882) — operating independently with no disclosed external investor, private equity or parent company ownership.

Direct peers

• Boss Design: Office and breakout seating manufacturer active in the Australian market via design-led channels. Comparable to Krost's seating portfolio and to its architect/specifier-driven enterprise sales motion.
• Zenith Interiors: Australian commercial furniture and workspace solutions provider with showrooms in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Comparable product breadth and go-to-market, and overlapping architect/specifier channel across the same Australian metros.
• Senator Group: UK-headquartered office furniture manufacturer with a presence in Australia. Comparable across task seating, executive chairs, and tables for the same enterprise and education channels that Krost addresses.
• Humanscale: Ergonomics-focused office furniture manufacturer known for monitor arms, sit-stand desks, and task seating. Directly comparable to Krost's Lua Monitor Arm and Ace Height Adjustable Workstation categories and to its ergonomic value proposition.
• Schiavello: Australian-owned commercial office furniture manufacturer and fit-out specialist headquartered in Melbourne. Directly comparable as a domestic peer competing in workstations, seating, and joinery for the same enterprise fit-out channel.
• Keilhauer: Canadian office seating and tables manufacturer with an emphasis on design and ergonomics. Comparable to Krost in the premium seating and collaborative tables segments that anchor enterprise fit-out specifications.

Broad incumbents

• Haworth: International office furniture manufacturer with a strong presence in Australia. Overlaps with Krost on workstations, seating, and architectural interiors, and competes for the same enterprise fit-out specifications.
• MillerKnoll: Parent of Herman Miller and Knoll, offering a broad portfolio of office furniture and workspace solutions. Competes with Krost across seating and systems furniture, particularly for multinational tenants standardising on global brands.
• Officeworks: Australia's largest office supplies and stationery retailer with a growing furniture range. Adjacent rather than direct — competes with Krost's B2C online store for small-office and SMB furniture buyers rather than enterprise fit-outs.
• Steelcase: Global leader in office furniture and workspace innovation. Comparable across the full product range — workstations, seating, tables — but competes from a global procurement scale and broader portfolio perspective rather than domestic Australian specialisation.
