About TFA
At TFA, we believe in turning waste into wonder. Our mission is to give used tyres a new lease on life by transforming them into innovative, stylish, and sustainable furniture.
Our Story
TFA was born from a simple yet powerful idea: that discarded materials hold untapped potential for beauty and function. What started as a small experiment with a single tyre has grown into a passionate commitment to eco-conscious design and creative craftsmanship.
Our founder recognized the growing problem of tyre waste in Nigeria and saw an opportunity to make a difference. By applying innovative design thinking and skilled artisanship, we began creating furniture pieces that were not just sustainable, but genuinely desirable.
Today, TFA has grown into a recognized leader in sustainable furniture design. Our pieces have been featured in prestigious locations and presented to government officials, showcasing the transformative potential of creative recycling.
Every product we craft is a reflection of our dedication to the environment and our love for bold, meaningful design. At TFA, we don't just recycle; we reimagine.
