Grow your furniture business from local customers to an international audience.
Find real furniture jobs, get paid as each stage is approved, and build on the country's top furniture machines at our Lagos factory.
The platform built for Nigeria's furniture makers.
MANDE connects skilled furniture makers with real projects from leading brands and businesses. We bring you the work, a project lead to guide every job, the machines to build it and the funding to grow, so your workshop can take on more than it could alone.
You build the furniture. We make sure the work is clear, checked at every stage and paid for as it moves.
Real furniture jobs
Every job comes with drawings, a budget and a deadline. Apply for open jobs, or be offered work that fits your specialities.
Paid as the work moves
10% when you accept, a share at every approved stage, and the rest at sign-off, straight into your MANDE wallet.
A project lead on every job
Someone from MANDE checks each stage with you and signs off the work, so you always know what's expected.
Room to grow

The funding to grow your workshop.
Skill gets you the job. Growing takes money. Makers on MANDE can borrow up to ₦10 million through the MANDE Accelerator Program to invest in their business and take on bigger work.
Makers who rank high on MANDE can apply. Doing great work on your jobs is what moves you up.
A plan for every size of workshop.
Every plan gets you real jobs and staged payments. Bigger plans let you run more jobs at once, and add discounted time on furniture machines at our Lagos factory and a dedicated officer. Paying for the year saves a further 0%.
