Furnishing Mauritian homes for three generations.
What started as one small furniture shop in Port-Louis in 1951 is today one of the island’s best-known furniture names — still family-run, still built on quality, comfort and fair prices.
From one shop to The Furniture People
A visionary entrepreneur, a designer trained in London, and a third generation shaping TFP for a modern, demanding market. Each step kept the same promise: good furniture, made to last, that more families can afford.
- 1951
It begins in Port-Louis
The late Mr. Ismael Maharaullee opens his furniture business, then known as “Magasin Amdoo”. Two more showrooms soon follow in Port-Louis and Rose-Hill.
- 1979
The second generation
Mr. Mustapha Maharaullee — a graduate in Furniture Design and Manufacturing from South Bank Polytechnic and the London School of Furniture — takes over and opens the first official TFP showroom, “Multi-Collection”, at Eau Coulée.
- 1980
Our own factory
A factory opens at Wootun Lane, Eau Coulée. The business grows fast and takes the name The Furniture People.
- 2004
The third generation
The know-how passes to Mousheerl Maharaullee, Director of Finance and Marketing, who steers TFP towards a more dynamic, competitive market and a clientele looking for variety and an impeccable finish.
- 2007
A founder honoured
Mr. Ismael Maharaullee is officially recognised for his achievements and his contribution to the welfare of his region.
- Today
Still family, still growing
Locally made and imported furniture for every room — bedroom, living, dining, office and outdoor — with fast delivery across the island.
Simplicity, convenience and comfort — for the many.
Our philosophy
Our customers come first, and our reputation is our most valuable asset. Craftsmanship keeps us ahead, and we keep pushing ourselves to innovate. We genuinely love what we do — and we hope Mauritius loves us for it.
Our vision
“Simplicity, convenience and comfort for the many people.”
Our mission
To offer a wide range of well-designed, functional home furnishing products at prices so low that as many people as possible can afford them.
Eight values that shape how we work
We are The Furniture People. These are the values that have shaped our company — and every member of our team is expected to put them into practice, on the shop floor, in the warehouse and at your door.
Equality
We value equality for everyone we work with — clients, staff, suppliers and partners alike.
- An equally warm welcome for every customer, whatever the size of their purchase.
- Training offered to staff at every level of the company.
- Commissions shared fairly across all departments.
Take ownership
We take responsibility for our successes and our failures — no excuses, no passing the blame.
- Owning a missed target and working out how to fix it, rather than blaming others.
- Treating company resources as our own — from switching off unused lights to careful, fuel-efficient driving.
- Looking after the whole store, not just our own department.
More than a company — a community
We collaborate, support one another and show empathy to our colleagues.
- An HR team dedicated to the well-being of our community.
- Standing by colleagues in personal emergencies, such as arranging transport for a funeral.
- Listening first — understanding personal situations and adjusting schedules when needed.
Challenger
We embrace innovation and ambition, and we never stop looking for better ways to work.
- Encouraging our people to take on new responsibilities and promotions.
- Discussing management decisions as a team before they are put in place.
- Welcoming honest feedback on new procedures.
Focus on impact
We overcome obstacles and concentrate on delivering exceptional results.
- Giving each client our full time and attention, so they leave with the right furniture.
- Putting customer deliveries first — solving the problem before looking for who caused it.
- Planning deliveries ahead to keep our promises.
Accountable for results
We set high expectations for ourselves and follow through on every commitment.
- Measuring our strengths and areas to improve with clear performance indicators.
- Reaching individual and team targets together.
- Meeting our goals across finance, sales, delivery and after-sales.
We obsess over customer needs
We aim to deliver exceptional products, services and experiences, every time.
- Keeping the trust of Mauritian families since 1951.
- A dedicated After Sales team that resolves issues quickly.
- Aiming to deliver your order within 3 days.
Act with integrity
We are honest, transparent and committed to the best interests of our customers, our staff and our company.
- Always being honest with our customers.
- Paying our staff accurately and on time.
- Full transparency, including detailed payslips for every employee.
