Antigone

Furniture retail in Johannesburg involves real logistics. Pieces need to survive delivery across potholed routes from the north to the south, handle Gauteng's dry winters and humid summers without warping, and fit through doorways in apartment blocks where loading docks are tight. Antigone sources and delivers pieces with these realities in mind—understanding that a sofa ordered in Parkhurst needs to arrive undamaged, that wooden frames expand in different seasons, and that Johannesburg's fast-paced lifestyle means customers often need flexible delivery windows. The work isn't just showing items; it's coordinating installation, managing returns, and ensuring pieces fit spaces that have awkward dimensions or low-hanging beams. That attention to the actual mechanics of getting furniture into Johannesburg homes is what separates a supplier from a retailer.
