In Nigeria’s corporate and educational spaces, furniture isn’t just a background feature; it plays a direct role in comfort, productivity, and long-term value. Yet, a common challenge persists: many institutions and offices are filled with furniture that lacks basic ergonomics, wears out quickly, and often cannot be refurbished, especially imported options that were never designed with Nigerian usage in mind.
At Solap Furniture, we saw this problem firsthand. Our research into the use of furniture and fittings in higher institutions revealed a troubling pattern: uncomfortable seating, health concerns from poor posture, and rapid deterioration, often within just a year of use. This reality inspired our mission to transform the way furniture is designed and produced in Nigeria.
The Problem We Set Out to Solve
Our journey began with a sobering research study across Nigeria’s higher institutions of learning. What we discovered was alarming yet not surprising: a proliferation of furniture and fittings that lacked basic ergonomic principles and the structural integrity needed to withstand the demanding environment of educational institutions.
Students were suffering from discomfort and health concerns due to poorly designed seating. Faculty members struggled with workstations that hindered rather than helped their productivity. Most disturbing of all, furniture was disintegrating within less than a year of use, creating a cycle of constant replacement that drained institutional budgets.
The foreign furniture flooding our markets wasn’t the solution either. When these imported pieces inevitably broke down, they couldn’t be refurbished or repaired locally, leading to complete waste and environmental concerns.
This research wasn’t just an academic exercise; it became our mission statement. We realized that Nigeria needed a furniture manufacturer that understood our unique challenges, climate, usage patterns, and economic realities.
