Behind The Brand
John’s journey began in the aviation sector, performing safety inspections on aircraft, both locally and abroad. This sparked his interest in transforming retired aircraft parts and other unique industrial objects into functional pieces of art. After qualifying as an Interior Designer from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology he began working in the shopfitting industry where he further cultivated a discerning eye for design. His venture into bespoke furniture design was fuelled by admiration for inspiring architecture and a commitment to honour hand-selected raw materials.
Our creations seamlessly blend the grace of timeless classics with the cultural richness of Africa, encompassing its distinctive patterns, materials and textures.
Wunderlust & Design
Travel has always been a significant source of inspiration for John. His journeys around the world have exposed him to the diverse beauty of both natural landscapes and architectural marvels. This global perspective, coupled with his curious and experimental spirit, finds its way into the eclectic influences that shape his bespoke furniture creations.
