Ico Traders’ Australian distributors: Forj Living

ICO TRADERS / FORJ LIVING

I always say that good things take time. And for Ico Traders and Forj Living, our partnership was a few years in the making. 

Charlotte is a Kiwi living in Brisbane.  we first connected when she specified Ico Traders furniture for a commercial project in Australia. She had seen our designs when visiting back in New Zealand and knew they would be the perfect fit.  We delivered the order direct from our factory & so the idea began,

However, I was already in discussions to distribute Ico Traders furniture into Australia.  Then Covid hit and the plan was shelved. Fast forward a little, Charlotte met and married design enthusiast Scotty. Together they began to expand her interior design business and that meant reaching out to me again.

When we first met in person, it was clear we shared more than a business vision. We both valued good design, fairness and transparency in business, sustainability and respect for the environment.  In life we connected over family, food, and a love of excellent gin.

Slowly but surely we’ve built a partnership grounded in friendship, respect and shared values. I’m proud to announce that Ico Traders’ wire furniture designs are now available in Australia, through our Queensland distributors  Forj Living.
