Reception counters
Curved, angled or wrapped around a pillar. Tops in solid surface or laminate. We add space for cables, and a lower section for wheelchair users where needed.
Where it’s made
If the catalogue does not fit the room, we build it. There are two ways to get the furniture you need. We can import it, and we check it before it ships. Or we can build it to your drawings in our Nairobi workshop. Either way, it all arrives on one schedule, delivered and installed by our own team.
Why we do this
Every office has something the catalogue cannot cover
A reception counter that follows a curved wall. A boardroom table longer than any importer stocks. Desks that match furniture you bought six years ago, from a supplier who has since closed. These are not unusual requests. They come up in most offices, whatever the size.
The usual answer is to change the layout to fit whatever is for sale. Our answer is to build the piece instead. About one in seven items we supply is made here in Kenya. That means you wait weeks, not months. It also means spare parts are close by, not overseas.
Two ways
Imported, or built here
Most orders use a bit of both. We will always tell you plainly which way is best for each item, and why.
Imported ranges
Furniture from factories we have worked with for years. Some is in stock, some is made to order. This is the best way when a standard size fits and you need a lot of them.
- Checked at the factory by our own people before it ships
- Usually takes 6–10 weeks, or straight away if in stock
- Spare parts kept in Nairobi
Built in our workshop
Made to your drawing, here in Nairobi. This is the best way when the space is awkward, the size is unusual, or the piece has to match something you already own.
- You get a drawing and a fixed price before we cut anything
- Usually takes 3–5 weeks
- Any size, finish or edge shape
- We can repair it, or make matching pieces, years later
How a custom order works
How a custom piece gets made
You approve a drawing and a price before we cut anything. Nothing goes to the workshop until you have signed off both.
STEP 01
Tell us what the room needs
A sketch, a photo, or just a few words on WhatsApp is enough to start. If the space is awkward, we will come and measure it. We do this anywhere in Nairobi, for a small fee that covers our transport and incidental expenses.
STEP 02
Drawing and fixed price
You get a drawing with all the sizes, the material and the finish. You also get a price that will not change. This usually comes within one working day of the measure.
STEP 03
We build it in the workshop
Once you approve the drawing, we start building in Nairobi. Most items take three to five weeks. We give you the finish date at the start, not the end.
STEP 04
Delivered, assembled, installed
Our own team arrives on a date we agreed upon. If your office is in use, we work evenings and weekends. We take the packaging away with us.
A photo is enough to start
You do not need drawings or measurements to start. Send us a photo of the space, or of the furniture you want matched. We will come and measure, and do the drawing ourselves.
What we build
The pieces people ask for most
This is not a fixed catalogue. These are just the things we are asked for week after week.
Boardroom tables
Any length, in one piece or in sections so it fits through the door. Holes for power and data cables are cut where you need them, before delivery.
Executive desks & credenzas
Matching sets in veneer, laminate or solid wood. We can also match furniture you already own.
Rows of workstations
Bench desks sized to your actual floor, not to a standard size. So you do not lose a seat because of a 200mm gap.
Storage & built-in units
Walls of cupboards, rows of filing cabinets and server cabinets, built into corners and around pillars.
Schools & institutions
Lab benches, library shelves and lecture seating, built to take hard daily use, and in large numbers.
Materials & finishes
What we make things from
We have samples at both showrooms. We are happy to bring them to your office if that is easier for you.
VeneerOak, walnut and sapele on an MDF core. Finished in matt, satin or gloss.
LaminateHigh-pressure laminate in 40+ finishes, with tough ABS edging in a matching or contrasting colour.
