Today, we're thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter for Sissonne Outdoor as we welcome Peter Kerr as our new owner. Peter brings a profound passion for exceptional design, a deep understanding of enduring quality, and a commitment to the very values that have defined Sissonne since its inception.
The Sissonne Legacy
Sissonne Outdoor was founded in 2024 by Sally Jones and Sarah Palmer after renovations in Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula revealed a gap in truly high-quality, climate-resilient outdoor furniture. Their goal was clear: to elevate outdoor living with craftsmanship, quality, and design that endures.
From Loyal Customer to Visionary Leader
Peter wasn't just a spectator to this mission; he was one of Sissonne's earliest and most loyal customers, drawn to that same commitment to excellence. As an award-winning Interior Designer (PLK DESIGN), Peter's work across luxury homes and yachts has always been rooted in a love of exceptional, enduring design.
That passion was first sparked in 2011, when he imported custom pieces for a project on the Mornington Peninsula. It is this decades-long dedication to the craft that ultimately led him to be entrusted with the Sissonne legacy.
A Simple Commitment
Under Peter’s leadership, the core philosophy of Sissonne Outdoor remains unchanged. "My commitment is simple," Peter says. "To create pieces that meet the demands of the elements and stand as a true reflection of lasting quality and beauty."
Whether it is our sustainable A-Grade teak or our quick-dry technology, every piece will continue to reflect the story, skill, and soul of the artisans who craft them.
We invite you to join us in welcoming Peter Kerr as he leads Sissonne Outdoor into a bright, beautiful future.
