The finishing touches
The room is only right once the small things are in it.
Most of our customers arrive for one big piece and leave with the lamp, the cushions and the vase that make it work. Over a hundred decor items in the showroom, priced from a small gift to a statement sculpture — and our team will style the room with you, in person or from your photographs.
Re-upholstery
Keep the frame you love. Change everything else.
A well-built couch or headboard outlives its fabric several times over. We strip it back, repair the frame and springs where needed, and rebuild it in a fabric or leather you choose — usually for a good deal less than replacing the piece. Dining chairs, headboards, ottomans, armchairs and full lounge suites.
- —Send photographs and rough measurements — we come back with a guide range
- —Fabric and leather samples to see in the showroom or at home
- —Frame, springs and foam checked and repaired as part of the job
- —Collection and delivery in Gauteng, arranged by us
Bespoke, made to order
You choose the timber. We do the other eleven decisions.
Every piece starts as a raw slab and a conversation. Species, grain direction, resin colour, edge profile, leg design, finish — decided with you, then made by the same two hands from start to delivery.
- 01Tell us the room, the seats and the budget
- 02We select slabs and send photographs of the actual timber
- 03Drawing and fixed quote — no surprises later
- 04Built, cured, finished and delivered into place

What owners say
Delivered and living in Johannesburg homes
"The table is the first thing every guest comments on. Seven weeks of waiting and worth every one of them."
"They walked us through the timber, the resin colour, the size — nothing was a surprise on delivery day."
"Proper craftsmanship. Solid, heavy, beautifully finished. Not flat-pack anything."
