The story of HOW. first began with Ian Howard, who in 1946 formed Aristoc Industries and, later, Featherston Interiors, which became CoDesign.
HOW. was then established by Paul Howard and Faith Sun, who have over 50 years’ industry experience between them. We combine our love for quality design with a thorough knowledge of furniture. Well-known business principles are the basis for facing the challenges of today’s world.
HOW. has established itself as the benchmark for fitouts and furniture, in both the residential and commercial sectors.
HOW. is known for its high-quality, sustainable furniture. To guarantee quality, we manufacture in Australia, using ethically-sourced raw materials. We offer a range of Australian and international designs, as well as standard and custom-designed products.
Despite our vast experience and history of success, we’re a forward-thinking company that continually strives to improve.
In manufacture and product delivery, local community and indigenous labour are engaged. All relevant certification is current, including the ethical sourcing of solid wood and steel fabrications set by the FSC regulations.
In this way we ensure we only use certified factories, which are ISO compliant and do not employ slave labour or utilise banned chemicals in production. We comply with the AFA, AFRADI and Australian commercial furniture standards.
