Custom furniture, contract furniture and shop-fitted cabinetry — manufactured in our own factory in Wynberg, Sandton, for architects, interior designers, procurement agents and retailers we work with.
Sorted by sector. Every one built to someone else's drawing, or developed with them from a brief.
what wemake
Three kinds of work, one factory. We draw, machine, finish and install in-house — which means the person who quoted your job is the person who answers when you call about it.
custom furniture —
Free-standing and one-off pieces, built to your drawings or developed with you from a brief.
Fitted joinery for every room of a new build — kitchen and scullery, dressing rooms, bathroom vanities, a bar and cellar, gym and entrance hall. Matte lacquer and oak, book-matched stone, blackened steel and lit copper display niches. Designed by Nico van der Meulen Architects, detailed with our team, made and installed by Fundamental.

3 000 m²under roof, Wynberg, Sandton, since1997
Almost three thousand square metres under roof in Wynberg — machine, cabinet, steel shops, spray booths and finishing, all in the same building. We own the premises, the machinery and the vehicles that deliver the work. For the designers and architects we build for, that's the difference between a promised date and a date we control.

frequently askedquestions
Do you work directly with the public?
We work through the trade — architects, interior designers, agents and retailers. If you're a homeowner without a designer, get in touch anyway and we'll point you to someone we work with regularly.
Can you build from our drawings and specification?
Yes, that's most of what we do. Send us your drawings and we'll come back with a quote, plus any notes where we think a detail will cause issues in the manufacturing process.
Do you measure, deliver and install?
All three. We check site dimensions before we cut, and our own team installs.
What are your typical lead times?
It depends on the scope and the finish - and how busy the factory is. We confirm a delivery date at quote stage and we hold to it.
What materials and finishes do you work in?
Solid timber and veneers, hand-painted, high-gloss duco, sprayed and lacquered finishes. We have our own steel shop and we manufacture glass-fibre reinforced concrete.
How do I become a trade partner?
Register below and we'll come back within a day with pricing and a direct contact in the factory.
Do you produce your own shop drawings?
Yes, if you need them. Our in-house studio produces shop drawings from your concept or spec, and nothing is cut until they're signed off.
What quantities can you handle?
From a single piece to a national rollout — we've supplied, delivered and installed furniture for roughly 220 Independent Electoral Commission offices around the country.
