Core offering

ANIBOU imports and retails premium European designer furniture, lighting, rugs, and home/office products in Australia. The company acts as the exclusive Australian distributor for ten international designer brands and sells them to design-conscious consumers through two physical showrooms and an e-commerce storefront. Product range covers living, dining, lighting, outdoor, bedroom, and office categories, supplemented by a 'Shop Now' ready-to-ship curated collection.

Product overview

ANIBOU is an Australian furniture importer and retailer that distributes internationally recognized designer furniture brands. The company operates as a portfolio of imported furniture brands rather than a single unified product, offering furniture across six product categories: Living, Dining, Lighting, Outdoor, Bedroom, and Office. The brand portfolio includes Artek (Finnish furniture and lighting by Alvar Aalto), USM (Swiss modular furniture systems by Fritz Haller), Thonet GmbH (German bentwood and tubular steel), ClassiCon (German design furniture including Eileen Gray pieces), Gervasoni1882 (Italian indoor/outdoor furniture), Isokon Plus (UK plywood furniture), Röthlisberger (Swiss contemporary furniture), Woodnotes (Finnish paper yarn rugs), Vaarnii (Finnish pine furniture), and Modeo (Finnish design by Yrjö Kukkapuro).
