Exclusive Siesta agents across Africa
Chair Crazy is very fortunate to be the appointed sole African agent for Siesta Exclusive furniture. In our seasoned opinion Siesta Exclusive’s contract range, purpose-built for the global hospitality industry, is amongst the finest in the world. We regularly attend the top furniture shows in Europe and Asia and we’re constantly reminded of Siesta’s leadership position in all aspects of our industry. We always come away feeling proud of our association with them.
We’re Siesta wholesalers and retailers
Chair Crazy and ISILPLAST A.S. (owners of the Siesta Exclusive brand) have enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship for many years. So, if you come across a Siesta chair or table in your travels across Africa, chances are it got there via our warehouse in Montague Gardens, Cape Town. Chair Crazy itself is both a wholesaler and retailer of Siesta Exclusive products – we supply a number of upmarket furniture retailers across South Africa, but we also retail Siesta Exclusive furniture through our Woodstock and Midrand showrooms and via our online store at www.chaircrazy.co.za.
How did the relationship start?
When Jorge Bastos purchased Chair Crazy SA in 2005, he knew that the business would live or die by the quality of the furniture it procured, marketed and sold. The restaurant and broader hospitality industries in Cape Town at that time were already world-class (and are even more so today), and most of the top establishments were actively seeking contemporary and durable seating arrangements for their patrons. So, Jorge went in search of the best brand of contract furniture he could find and ended up at ISILPLAST A.S. in Istanbul in Turkey. He was highly impressed with what he saw – the range, the quality, the colours, the finishing, the look and the affordability and with the management of the company. And a long-lasting partnership was strick The rest as they say is history.
