Stellenbosch - Kitchen Drawer Knobs This project involved the custom fabrication of a set of kitchen knobs, created specifically to complement the client’s overall design vision. Each knob was carefully manufactured to achieve the desired form and finish before being prepared for a custom colour application. Stellenbosh - Kitchen Countertop Knobs Following the client’s specification, the knobs were professionally sprayed in a bespoke colour, adding a distinctive detail to the

Center of Attention Although the Puffed Up coffee table appears effortless in its design, its manufacture proved to be one of the more technically demanding projects. The process began with the table legs, where the required diameter was not available in standard stainless steel tube. Instead, each leg was rolled from 3mm stainless steel plate, fully welded, carefully dressed into shape, and finished with a brushed grain to achieve a seamless appearance. The base presented th

Two into One Installation Complete - Arlecchino Restaurant, Seapoint The production of Coned² begins with the development of two individually designed cones, which are flat patterned, laser cut and carefully rolled from 2mm stainless steel. Forming each cone is only the first challenge, the real complexity lies in blending their different radii into one continuous, flowing curve. To achieve this, the cones are fully welded together before being rolled a second time, allowing

Fishmonger Wall Art This custom wall sculpture began with an 18mm shutterply backing board and SA Pine timber fins measuring 152mm × 38mm. Although the overall concept appeared straightforward, every individual fin had to be cut to length by hand, sanded, shaped, and then assembled by nailing it to the backing board. The first major challenge came during assembly. As the backing board began to bow, the spacing between the fins became inconsistent through the centre of the scu

Constantia Kitchen Countertop The project involved fabricating and installing a custom brushed stainless steel kitchen countertop, with the entire surface re-brushed after the initial finish failed to meet our standards. Accuracy was critical throughout fabrication, as even the smallest measurement error would have affected the clean, seamless appearance of the installation. Transporting and positioning the countertop required careful planning, while connecting the faucet pip

Silver-Lining Arch - Where your memories begin beneath the arch The Shadow-Lining Arch began as a single sheet of stainless steel. The sheet was carefully formed through a series of incremental bends to create its smooth, continuous radius. While the original design achieved the clean, uninterrupted form we envisioned, real world testing revealed an engineering challenge that could not be overlooked. Once the arch was installed, strong winds exposed a lack of structural rigid

Three Weeks, Three Cities, Three Units Every successful project starts with a prototype. For the SwiitchBeauty kiosk, a full-scale 1:1 cardboard mock-up allowed us to refine every detail before fabrication. What began as a straightforward design quickly became a highly technical project when the material changed from aluminium to thinner-gauge stainless steel, requiring us to rethink how we formed, welded, blended and polished the seamless radiused corners without compromisin
