We are a small Johannesburg workshop devoted to one idea: that furniture should be made by hand, from honest materials, to last for generations. Every piece is designed, built and finished under one roof — by the people whose names are on the door.
What began as weekend furniture for our own home became a quiet obsession with grain, joinery and the character that only solid timber carries. We learned to read a board, to wait years for wood to dry properly, and to let each piece tell us what it wanted to become.
Today that obsession is a studio. We turn down work that doesn’t excite us, and we take the time each commission deserves — because the people who live with these pieces deserve nothing less.
Our 2.5 × 2.4-metre CNC router lets us work at a scale most studios can’t — flattening oversized slabs, cutting intricate inlays and routing repeatable joinery to a fraction of a millimetre. But the machine is only ever a tool in service of the hand.
Every commission still moves through the same path: a conversation, a measured drawing, a fixed quote, and then the slow work of making. We share progress photos throughout, so the piece arrives feeling like something you helped create.
Walnut, oak, ash and maple — selected board by board and dried for stability and character.
Crystal-clear and pigmented pours, finished to a flawless, durable, food-safe surface.
Blackened and polished bases welded in-house — an architectural counterpoint to timber.
Tempered and smoked glass tops that add lightness and let the joinery beneath show through.
