‘Good design, work efficiency will see us through'
Wood News|September - October 2020
Solli Concepts is a design studio that specialises in hand-crafted and hand-finished furniture. Traditional woodworking methods are used alongside modern machinery to ensure products are built to last.
‘Good design, work efficiency will see us through'

At Solli function and design are of equal importance and we believe one cannot work without the other. The intended primary function of the product is the inspiration for the design to take form.

I like to keep things simple, by taking everything out that is not needed, to present an elegant yet simple piece for someone to enjoy. Due to our extensive understanding and knowledge of manufacturing wooden products, Solli Concepts also has a dedicated manufacturing space for corporate clients and clients who are looking for their designs to be manufactured.

Within the indoor furniture space, we specialise in wardrobes, beds, bedside tables, dressers, sofas, bar stools, lounge chairs, dining tables and chairs, upholstered furniture, storage units, bars, media units and mirrors.

We also have a very interesting line of products for the washroom area to include wooden washbasins, shower trays, vanities and bathtubs. High-quality outdoor furniture includes doors, façades, seating and tables.

Maintaining morale

In order to protect the welfare of our team, we decided to house our key staff members within the work premises, providing them with all necessary sleeping and cooking materials even before the lockdown began.

During the time the premises were not operating we made the some things a priority for our workforce. To ensure that they stayed mentally fit, we encouraged them to start a new hobby, finished pending personal projects and set goals to keep them focused and motivated.
