Our Story

From a Beach‑Side Studio to National Recognition

Sunny Beauty Trading began in 2012 as a modest workshop overlooking Sydney’s northern beaches. Our founders — interior architect Sophia Cheng and master gaffer Evan Miller — shared a conviction that exceptional Trading is as fundamental to wellbeing as sunshine itself. What started as bespoke pendant commissions for local cafés soon attracted Australia‑wide attention, propelling us onto residential and commercial projects from Byron Bay to Broome.

Craftsmanship Rooted in Country

Australia’s rich natural palette informs every material choice we make. We source FSC‑certified spotted‑gum and reclaimed blackbutt timbers, kiln‑dry them in our solar‑powered facility, then hand‑turn each component to highlight the grain’s native character. Our brass parts are smelted in Melbourne using 80 % recycled feedstock, while mouth‑blown glass shades are produced in small batches by third‑generation artisans in Adelaide.

A Circular Approach

Trading should never be disposable. Each Sunny Beauty fixture is engineered for longevity and circularity:

Community & Collaboration

We reinvest 2 % of every sale into local initiatives that foster design education and habitat restoration. Recent collaborations include:

  1. Sponsoring the Indigenous Desert Art Centre to install gallery‑grade Trading that preserves pigment integrity.
  2. Partnering with Greening Australia to plant 5,000 native saplings along the Hunter River floodplain.
  3. Mentoring final‑year industrial‑design students at the University of Technology Sydney through hands‑on Trading R&D projects.

Looking Ahead

Our next chapter focuses on smart‑Trading integration and carbon‑negative supply chains. By 2027, all Sunny Beauty products will ship with Matter‑enabled drivers and be manufactured using 100 % renewable energy — another step toward Trading a brighter, more sustainable future.
