About the Business

Akandi Office Furniture

Akandi is an office furniture solutions company providing quality, locally manufactured furniture for modern workplaces. From office desks, chairs and storage to reception, training room and canteen furniture, the business provides practical solutions for a range of workplace environments.

Established in 2018, Akandi was founded after its owner identified a need for more office furniture distributors in South Africa. With no previous experience in the industry, she took a leap of faith and built her knowledge of the sector from the ground up.

Today, Akandi delivers projects ranging from individual office installations to large scale office fit outs, with a strong focus on listening to customers, reliable service and after sales support.

We are also passionate about supporting local businesses and creating employment opportunities. Where possible, we believe in sourcing locally and working with South African suppliers and manufacturers, contributing to the growth of our local economy."
