Alfresco dining
Outdoor dining furniture, including glass and aluminium table concepts, for spaces that need to feel as useful and comfortable as the dining room inside.
01 / WHAT WE SOURCE
Outdoor-living product opportunities for Australian trade buyers.
The Balcony Shop helps retailers, trade buyers and suppliers assess outdoor-living product opportunities for the Australian market, rather than presenting a fixed consumer range.
Graham’s special interest is outdoor living. His sourcing conversations start there, then follow the brief, the buyer and the opportunity.
Discuss a product opportunity
THE STARTING POINT
A specialist interest. A broader sourcing conversation.
Graham’s experience sits in outdoor living, but the conversation does not begin and end with a pre-set range. It begins with the buyer, the product opportunity and the Australian market it needs to serve.
AREAS OF OUTDOOR-LIVING EXPERIENCE
02
Durable seating
Bench and seating ideas for courtyards, shared spaces and outdoor rooms where everyday usefulness matters as much as appearance.
03
Compact-space living
Comfortable settings and practical product ideas for balconies and smaller outdoor areas that are often overlooked or underused.
THE BROADER BRIEF
The outdoor-living lens is not a limit.
These examples show the product judgement Graham brings to a conversation. They do not limit the products he can source for the right retail or trade opportunity.
FROM PRODUCT IDEA TO USEFUL DISCUSSION
Start with the right questions.
A worthwhile sourcing conversation considers more than a product image. Who is the buyer? How will the item be used? What needs to be true of the materials, construction, packaging, price position or retail context?
- UnderstandThe buyer, audience and opportunity.
- ClarifyThe product brief, practical requirements and market context.
- DiscussSourcing possibilities informed by relevant product knowledge.
- DecideThe next useful step: information, supplier conversation or product review.
