Home & Office Furniture

Harare, Zimbabwe

We manufacture hardwood furniture, home decor, laser cutting & engraving, specialty paints. We work hand in hand with designers to fit out homes and lodges to a high spec, combining ideas with quality for a professional finish. 

Our unique range of hand-crafted creations is continually growing to suit our customer requirements for bespoke pieces, created as close to the natural state of the wood as possible from beautiful, fallen, dead logs that would otherwise have been burned.  We do not cut down green trees, and we enjoy growing our own seedlings and planting them back into the bush in efforts to try to conserve our struggling natural environment in Zimbabwe.

Our most commonly used wood is Muwanga (Afrormosia / Percopsis Angolensis), but look out for pieces made with Murima, African Blackwood and Leadwood.  Locally, Muwanga trees are used for grain bins and fence posts as they are termite resistant, and especially for firewood because of their long-burning properties. In the early days of Rhodesia, Muwanga was eagerly sought after for furniture because of its beauty and durability.

Now we preserve and showcase these beautiful features through each piece that we craft.

Our products range from small items (frames, clocks, lamps, cutting boards etc) to dining and coffee tables, river tables, furniture, doors, stairs, beds, panelling and beams, and we love to take on new custom-made requests for pieces that we have not made before.
