What began as a personal frustration has, over two decades, evolved into one of South Africa’s most trusted names in premium indoor and outdoor furniture.
Mobelli’s story starts simply with a search for the perfect sun lounger.
Founder Alon Sachs recalls being caught between two extremes: outdoor furniture that was either prohibitively expensive or disappointingly poor in quality. After finally settling on a wooden lounger that seemed to strike the right balance, the reality quickly set in. What promised to be effortless outdoor living turned into a cycle of sanding, oiling, and constant maintenance.
“There was nothing relaxing about it,” he reflects. “It felt like I was working for the furniture, instead of the furniture working for me.”
That moment sparked a bigger idea. Together with his brother Aviv, they set out to create furniture that would solve a very real problem, pieces that were beautiful, durable, and most importantly, hassle free.
Designing for real life
From the beginning Mobelli focused on removing the frustrations traditionally associated with outdoor furniture. This meant moving away from high-maintenance materials and rethinking how furniture performs in real environments from private homes to high-traffic hospitality spaces.
This philosophy led to the development of innovations like AluOak® a signature finish that delivers the warm, natural look of wood, without the upkeep.
By combining aluminium with advanced finishing techniques, AluOak® offers resistance to weather, sun, and wear, while maintaining its wood look aesthetic over time. The result is a material that aligns with modern lifestyles: low-maintenance, long-lasting, and visually refined.
Built on trust
Today, Mobelli’s presence extends far beyond residential spaces. Its furniture is used in boutique hotels, restaurants, and outdoor venues across South Africa in environments where durability and reliability are non-negotiable.
This growth has been shaped not only by product innovation, but by the ongoing support of clients, designers, and hospitality partners who continue to choose Mobelli for its consistant performance and service.
From reliable stock availability to after-sales support, the brand has built its reputation on delivering a seamless experience one that reflects its core commitment on delivering premium comfort with reliability and integrity.
20 years on
As Mobelli celebrates its 20-year milestone, the focus remains unchanged, creating furniture that enhances how people live, rather than adding to their workload.
Because true outdoor living isn’t about maintenance.
It’s about ease, comfort, and enjoying the space around you exactly as it was always meant to be.
