ReLove at International Towers: Furniture with a Purpose

Turn style into social impact — donate, shop, or volunteer

As you pass through the International Towers lobbies over the next two months, you’re not just seeing a beautifully curated furniture installation. You’re seeing a call to action — a chance to give furniture a second life, reduce waste, and help people in crisis feel at home again.

This collaboration between International Towers and Sydney charity ReLove brings stylish, high-quality pieces into our shared spaces while shining a light on a bigger mission: restoring dignity, comfort, and hope for people rebuilding their lives.

Why ReLove matters

When women and children fleeing domestic violence move into emergency housing, they often arrive to an empty shell — no beds, no tables, sometimes nothing but a bare floor. As  ReLove co-founder Ren Fernando says:

“A furnished home is more than just a place to live. It’s where comfort, dignity, and the ability to rebuild begin.”
Since 2021, ReLove has:

  • Fully furnished 2,000+ homes for families in crisis
  • Saved 2,500 tonnes of furniture from landfill
  • Contributed 22,000+ volunteer hours to transforming lives

From landfill to lounge room

Every piece in this installation — sourced from hotels, workplaces, hospitality venues, and individuals — represents more than design. It represents a choice: to give pre-loved furniture another chapter, instead of sending it to landfill.

Curated by interior designer Robyn Lindsey and fund manager Kim Dawson, the installation highlights unique items rarely available in retail. Each one is a reminder that furniture can be part of a circular solution — raising funds and awareness for ReLove’s programs.

How you can help right now

  • Donate: Give quality furniture a second life and help furnish homes for families in need.
  • Shop: Visit the ReLove warehouse and buy pieces like the ones you see here — every purchase supports the mission.
  • Volunteer: Lend your time to help families turn empty rooms into welcoming homes.

This installation is an invitation. Pause, look closer, and imagine the lives changed when design meets purpose. Then take the next step — because your support makes it possible.

Donate furniture. Shop what you see. Volunteer your time. Together, we can turn style into impact.
