Designers Starry Eve Collett and Henry du Rand
we live and work on the Southernmost tip
of the African continent, a small
village, a suburb of Cape Town....
we hail from varied backgrounds.. set design, chef, photographer.. and we are self-taught
we want to make furniture that we love to sit on, lie on, live on.. full of ideas and inspiration
we are so inspired by nature
trying to use only natural fibres is hard in South Africa
we seem to be the only manufacturers around that are committed to using alternative fibres
it takes much longer to upholster in the traditional method
we use a combination of latex foam and raw and recycled fibers
there is a lot of needlework on our pieces, sometimes rough, sometimes really neat..
so much thoughtful handwork in one piece makes it glow
