After attending several events abroad and seeing how elegant the decor looked when Chiavari Chairs are used we saw the need to introduce these elegant banquet chairs into the Nigerian scene to make events extra special.

Chiavari is a sunny town on the Italian Riviera, close to the more famous Portofino.
The art of carving had been a specialty of Chiavari’s craftsman since the year 1200, at which time they had been making ornaments and oars for the Genoa Republic. By the year 1800, the Rapinaro district had become home to a great many craft workshops where cabinet and chair makers were creating products of seasoned wood. The legs and backs of the chairs they made were contoured to follow the natural shape of the branch from which they came. The town’s craftsmen braided willow ribbons to make the seats that brought the Chiavari name into this world.

The chairs originated when the Marquis Rivarola; Ambassador of the Genoa Republic, brought samples of some extremely elegant chairs back from a trip to France. He gave the chairs to Giuseppe Gaetano Descalzi for evaluation. Guiseppe’s nickname was “Bell Ringer”, which stemmed from his parent’s occupation as bell ringers. The skilled craftsman that he was, Guiseppe not only evaluated the chairs but redesigned them. The chair he gave birth to far exceeded the French models in both functionality and beauty.

... nowadays...

There is a reason that Chiavari chairs are the preferred choice for banquet halls, caterers, and other hospitality establishments: they blend elegance, style, form, and function into the perfect chair. No event is ever complete without the chiavari chairs.
