Your Project Deserves a Partner, Not Just a Provider
45 years of precision commercial upholstery for South East Queensland's architects, cabinet makers, project managers, and commercial businesses.
The Formatek Story
Based on the Sunshine Coast, we've served South East Queensland's commercial sector since 1980. The name says it all: Forma (design excellence) + Tek (technical expertise).
What started as a boutique workshop named Nambour Upholstery, which has evolved into a strategic partner for the region's largest developers, healthcare providers, and architectural firms. We bridge the gap between aesthetic vision and functional reality.

Why Replace What You Can Restore?
Why send quality furniture to landfill when you can restore it — and make it exactly what you need? Professional restoration delivers superior outcomes with less waste and more creative control than a straight replacement.
Tailored to Your Spec
Restore and upgrade in one. New fabric, finish, and form — built to your brief. Off-the-shelf can’t do that.
Keeps Quality Furniture Out of Landfill
Preserve the structure, reduce the waste. A real sustainability outcome — not just a green claim.
Results That Exceed the Original
Modern materials. 45 years of craft. A restored piece often surpasses what you started with.
More Cost-Effective Than Buying New
More value per dollar than full replacement — without compromising on spec or finish.

Comprehensive range of fire-rated fabrics and documentation for occupancy certificates.
Medical-Grade
