FAIR TRADE FEELGOOD LOUNGE
Salisbury, outside the Guildhall
Tuesday 24th July, 10 til 4pm
Come and enjoy a feelgood moment with a difference.
Affordable designer chairs
These tsantai™ feelgood chairs are a little unusual, you might even say wacky. That may be down to our Swedish designer (Tord Kjellstrom S.I.D.), or simply the nature of our design brief.
We wanted to create a range of distinctive chairs which felt good in every sense of that phrase: nice looking, really comfortable, produced on a fair trade basis, using natural materials that can be sustainably sourced.
But not with silly prices...
What people are saying*
We were encouraged by the comments real people made when we first tested the chairs:
- deceptively comfortable
- it feels like it's hugging you
- spacious and roomy
- can curl up and read a book in it
- I feel cosseted
- Feel like I have permission to slouch!
We very much hope you will agree when you try out our chairs.

Our philosophy
We are passionate about Fair Trade. We believe that Fair Trade principles can be applied just as well to furniture as to those smaller craft items and food products for which Fair Trade is now more famous. We are also keen to provide products which are distinctive in design and light in environmental footprint.
To ensure our producers in Indonesia get the best possible deal, we are avoiding selling through retailers (they normally take between 50 and 70% of the product value in furniture products). Instead you can buy direct from us over the web, and you can try the products out in one of our demonstration partner sites.
Using this model we are able to keep our prices sensible.
