Tangerine &Teal

Tucked into an industrial strip on Sydney's northern beaches, this showroom has built its name on one maker in particular: Parker, the Sydney furniture company whose sideboards, dining suites and armchairs defined a strand of Australian mid-century design through the 1960s and 70s. The stock reaches wider than that single name, taking in Grant Featherston, Clement Meadmore, Fler, Korody, John Duffecy and TH Brown alongside imported Danish pieces, but Parker remains the throughline, restored in-house with attention to original finishes rather than a generic respray. The shop keeps genuinely limited hours, open to the public only on Friday and Saturday mornings or by appointment, which suits a business built as much on sourcing specific pieces for collectors as on walk-in trade. It also buys, meaning the inventory turns over with real vintage finds rather than restocking through wholesalers. For anyone tracking down a particular Parker credenza, or trying to furnish a house around Australian mid-century design rather than the more commonly seen Danish imports, it is a genuine specialist address.
