Our craft
From a stuck drawer to a complete redesign — we handle the joinery, polishing, spray-finishing, upholstery, caning and riempie work in our Claremont workshop.
Structural repairs to chairs, tables, cabinets and heirloom pieces — wobble-free joints, reset veneers, replaced parts.
Back to bare timber and finished in matte, satin or high-gloss. Wax, oil or lacquer — your choice.
Custom Duco spray finishes in any colour and sheen. A modern refresh for tired or dated pieces.
Couches, dining chairs, ottomans and headboards re-upholstered with quality fabrics and traditional workmanship.
Replacement of leather strip (riempie) seating on traditional South African chairs and benches.
Hand-woven cane and machine-bead caning for chair seats, backs and panels.
Complete makeovers — combining colour, finish, fabric and detailing to give old furniture a new life.
We collect from your home and deliver back once the work is done. Cape Town and surrounds.
About
We've been quietly restoring Cape Town's furniture from our Claremont workshop since 2002. Most pieces we see have a story — a grandmother's riempie bench, a dining table that has fed three generations, a single chair that needs to look like the other five again.
Our approach is simple: keep what's good, fix what's broken, and finish the piece so it earns another twenty years. Restoring is almost always greener — and usually cheaper — than replacing.
