Sandalyeci

What Sandalyeci does

Sandalyeci is a Turkish B2B furniture manufacturer that designs and produces loose furniture — chairs, seating groups, tables, banquettes, and complementary accessories — for the global hospitality industry. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Izmir, the company runs a 30,000 square meter production facility in Gaziemir and reaches customers through a 21-branch distribution network serving more than 60 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and North America. Its customer base comprises chain and boutique hospitality brands operating hotels, restaurants, airport lounges, and dining venues, with named installations including the Air France KLM Crown Lounge at Toronto Pearson Airport, King Fahd International Airport / Primo Dining Lounge, Seraf Restaurant Istanbul, Akyokuş Kasrı, and Ruka Restaurant Izmir.

Product breadth is the central commercial asset: the catalog spans more than 1,000 product types organized into five main categories — Chairs (dining, bar, office, poufs, benches, stools), Seating Groups (armchairs, sofas, booths), Tables (bases, tops, full tables, coffee tables), Complementary Products, and Banquette — and is supported by a custom-design offering developed jointly with international designers for project-specific specifications. Manufacturing combines traditional craftsmanship with high-tech production infrastructure, including a stated focus on sustainable wood processing (minimizing material use via "airy" sections) and a broad range of fabric and leather upholstery options.

The business model is project-driven B2B: Sandalyeci does not publish pricing, instead operating a quote-based "Request Offer" funnel on its website, with deals originated via direct enterprise field sales, international trade shows (KIFF, INDEX, BDNY, HRC, NRA Show, HIX LDN), and a 21-branch global sales network. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, the company is privately held with no recorded external funding, and there is no evidence of M&A, restructuring, or AI/data-driven product features. Materials are sourced from a multi-supplier ecosystem covering wood, metal, lacquer, upholstery, and furniture accessories, with new suppliers actively recruited through the corporate website.
