Our Story

The Chair People

Est. 2004

In 2004, we started by designing bespoke furniture for commercial venues, but soon, homeowners took notice. They loved what they saw and wanted custom-made chairs and bar stools for their own spaces. That’s when we realised something was missing—people wanted to bring their own ideas to life.

That’s why we created The Chair People, where you’re in control of designing seating that’s personal to you. Today, we blend high-end craftsmanship with your creativity to make one-of-a-kind pieces that truly stand out, whether for home or business.
