At Inspire — furniture is art
Inspire’s ethos of creating quality and functional art is rooted throughout its Lifestyle (Retail) and Event Rental divisions. Creating living spaces that evoke emotion, whether permanent or just for a moment. With warehouses and showrooms in Johannesburg and Cape Town, and soon in the Garden Route. Inspire operates nationally, from both the retail furniture and event rental furniture perspectives.
Inspire Lifestyle is the group’s retail furniture division, and here the focus is on designs made for living. Whether it’s creating pieces for a luxury hotel, that transports their guests into a world of grandeur away from the mundane, or creating a warm feel of opulence to make a client’s home feel like it envelopes their soul. Inspire’s attention to detail and passion for quality is what sets Inspire’s art form apart from the rest.
Chad Botha, managing director and co-founder of Inspire Rentals, said: “The goal of art is to share who we are and how we see the world. Artists allow us to see what we are unable to see but somehow already know, it may be a view of the world singularly different from our own, or one so close it seems miraculous.”
Rudi van der Vyver, regional sales of Inspire Rentals, said: “At Inspire Rentals, we have an absolute passion for events, a hundred million moments — this is the canvas upon which we create. It’s chaotic and competitive, it’s laired and loud and it carries on at a pace so fast that some days it seems unmanageable.
“A hundred million ideas, these are the tools of our art, making the unseen reality, we create. With ‘to-do’ lists that go on forever, endless revisions from clients who seem impossible to please, running from one event to another with hardly a moment to take a breath or sleep in our own bed, often fleeting, sometimes forgotten. Through late nights in rooms lit only by the glow of our laptops, in boardrooms where no one else understands the majestic vision we see so clearly. In ballrooms, where everyone rushes, rallies, and refuses to slow down, and yet it all matters. With our effort and our heart and our skill, together we envision events that become unforgettable memories for those who actually pause to witness, and for those who just get lost in the moment.”
Mr Botha concluded: “Though they may never know our name, countless people experience inspiration, delight, and elegance because of our passion. In a time, that can seem overwhelming with darkness, we choose to showcase the glories, to bring order to the chaos, to express the true flavour of being alive. Our events remind all of us, for just a few moments, of the beauty in ourselves and help us rekindle the light that we have lost. In a world that seems to always destroy, we create. With careful focus and detail, we sculpt an experience, with light and colour, movement and sound, taste and texture we craft feelings and share ideas. We illuminate the art around us, and within us, that is so often missed. Our work adds to a tapestry of dreams, a canvas of creativity that brings into focus our clients’ celebrations, achievements, and victories.
“Consider the imagination represented in the hundred million moments that Inspire has designed. Imagine the landscape ahead filled with wonder, magic, and light. In your heart, pause with us right now to witness those hundred million moments, then look with us into the next series of masterpieces that will be born because of our effort and celebrate with us because this beauty matters.”
