About this product
Alice Series – Outdoor Furniture with Purpose
The Alice Series is a distinctive outdoor furniture collection designed by Koskela and manufactured in collaboration with the Centre for Appropriate Technologies (CfAT)—an Aboriginal-owned and controlled social enterprise based in Alice Springs. This partnership supports skill development and employment opportunities in remote Indigenous communities, combining utilitarian design with social impact.
Purpose-built for durability and versatility, the Alice table and chairs are suited to outdoor commercial, educational, and hospitality settings. The design proudly exposes its welded joints, showcasing the mark of the maker—a unique detail that celebrates handcrafted production.
The seat is made using our super tough Nomad canvas, which is water-resistant, making the Alice Series suitable for the outdoors. The cover is also removable and can be dry cleaned or replaced over time.
Koskela designed the Alice Series chair specifically to be manufactured by CfAT to reflect the fusion of industrial utility with handcrafted integrity and was developed to enable local production and meaningful employment in Central Australia.
For table orders under 10 units, you can choose:
-
Standard production in Sydney at the quoted price, or
-
Manufacture by our Supply Nation–certified partner (CfAT) in Alice Springs, which qualifies for ESG and RAP procurement reporting (pricing on request).
This initiative reflects Koskela’s commitment to supporting local manufacturing and embedding First Nations collaboration in design and production.

Why choose me
Made in Australia
All Koskela products are proudly made in Australia. By supporting us you also support our manufacturing partners who employ highly skilled workers that can execute custom and bespoke furniture designs.
Supports First Nations peoples and communities
Approximately 70% of the value of this product goes to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owned organisations. This income, independent of Government welfare, supports First Nations cultures and self-determination.
AfterCare™
Koskela products can be serviced to keep them looking like new and extend their life. Components are repairable or replaceable, so you can swap out a part rather than having to repurchase the whole. In most cases, this maintenance can happen onsite, reducing disruption and delays.
