“It’s really great; we love the way it’s turned out. The wood has some really nice lines to it and a lot of character.”
We love receiving these words from a happy Homewood customer after delivering their brand-new dining set: a Dwala table and Paindane Slim chairs crafted with precision and passion out of sugargum.
It brings us such joy to know that this table will be the setting for many special memories with family and friends for years to come! ☀️
Design that is beautiful AND practical? We’re here for it. 🔥
Check out this custom-order bench with a removable cushion, upholstered out of beautiful Hertex Fabrics fabric.
Say hello to the brand-new Ndebele Intambo Occasional Chair in Blackwood.
This could be one of our favourite creations to date.
Give her a “🤌” if you agree!
Today, we celebrate one of the greatest South Africans to ever have lived: Nelson Mandela!
We honour his legacy by holding onto the thing that he, too, once held dear: hope.
At Homewood, we have great hope in our hearts for the future of our beautiful nation. We’ve seen too much talent, ingenuity, camaraderie and passion to feel otherwise. ❤️
Crafted to last a lifetime and beyond.
Our Homewood furniture isn't just an investment in your space, it’s leaving a legacy for generations to come.
Every piece is strategically crafted out of alien-invasive timber to help aid in its removal from our natural ecosystem, without compromising on durability and aesthetics. 🌳
More than simply a weave.
Using traditional isiZulu weaving patterns and techniques passed down from generation to generation, your Homewood furniture creations are literally interwoven into a beautiful story where history and culture meet modern-day design.
We ❤️ working with lodges that call the African bush, home.
After all, what better way to fully embrace the natural environment than with 100% sustainable furniture crafted out of alien-invasive timber (in an effort to remove it from our natural ecosystems)?
Our most recent project was with the RETURNAfrica Hutwini Walking Camp in South Africa’s Makuleke Contractual Park, which has undergone an impressive upgrade!
Featured here: Paindane Kotini Outdoor Occasional chairs and Imbiza Loungers, both crafted out of sugar gum with a natural, oiled finish.
What makes our furniture different?
It isn’t manufactured using the timber you’re familiar with, such as oak, ash or mahogany.
Rather, we’re a bit more creative. 😉
All our furniture is exclusively manufactured out of alien-invasive timber sourced and removed from our natural ecosystems.
These timbers include sugar gum, river red gum, cottonwood and blackwood, each as durable as they are beautiful!
You know that winter’s arrived in the Midlands when the beanies become standard procedure.😉
The cold mornings are brutal, but things warm up pretty quickly as we get to work on all your orders. 🔥
At Homewood, it’s important to us that our team come to work feeling motivated and fulfilled.
One of the ways we create such a workplace is through fun, incentive programmes (with a little healthy team competition thrown in the mix), rewarding those who’ve shown continuous improvement and smashed their quality control goals, for example.
Featured here: some of this month’s continuous improvement project winners. 🏆
Homewood is officially in the 400+ club! 🥳

Thinking of investing in some quality hardwood furniture pieces? Our advice would be to chat to the pros first! 😉
We have three Homewood showrooms in South Africa, one in JHB and two in KZN, respectively.
These are places where you can explore Homewood furniture in person, ask our furniture design gurus all your questions, and be advised on the best possible solution for your space.
Pop in for a visit soon, we’d love to see you! 🤍
Custom-made furniture
From statement boardroom tables to intricate wine cellars, we have a knack for transforming ideas and dreams into real-life showstopping furniture pieces.

We loved working on this project for Beachwood Boutique Hotel & Resort. 🤩
We might be biased, but there’s nothing like proper, solid hardwood to bring durability and style to any space. Featuring Dwala dining tables and Duzu Slim chairs crafted out of cottonwood.
Each piece of furniture at our Homewood factory is 100% custom and made-to-order—a unique creation, just like its owner! 🙌
From the initial concept to the final touches, we pour our passion and craftsmanship into every piece, ensuring that no two are alike.
Today is for the Dads!
Thanks for all you do for us, all you teach us and for saying yes when Mom says no…😉
To celebrate Youth Day, we’d love to introduce you to Vuyo, one of our talented young craftsmen. 🙌
Coming from humble beginnings, Vuyo joined the Homewood family in 2020 and has since become an integral part of our team. His journey, to us, is a testament to the potential that lies within our youth and the positive impact of providing opportunities and training.
Full blog post on Vuyo's story coming soon!
Recently, the matrics of Edendale Technical High School paid a visit to the Homewood factory in Lidgetton.
The visit was facilitated by Ty and Mama Rosa (as we affectionately call her), and the learners were given an overview of a variety of processes, from how to read timber and grain to the manufacturing of joints and other woodworking processes.
The learners each have a coffee table project at the end of the year so seized the opportunity to learn and ask questions throughout the tour all the way up to climbing back on the bus at the end of the day.
Our takeaway?
The learners were SO eager to learn and equally eager to put these learnings into practice, putting hope in our hearts for the future of our industry and beautiful country. 🙌

Our Story
Homewood is a manufacturer of crafted (largely handmade) solid hardwood furniture and homeware smalls. Our ranges are designed for indoor, patio, and outdoor use. Many seating items can be upholstered, and we will source any locally available fabric or leather of your choice. Being made of natural materials, we cannot guarantee colour matching of timber to samples seen in showroom displays, and small imperfections are not defects, but evidence of the unique crafted nature of our products. We do not preselect timber, nor eliminate acceptable natural figuring in timber. All designs are made to order and may be customised by dimension and timber choice. We also gladly undertake custom design and manufacturing of any item within our linear design language. All products are guaranteed for five years in terms of material and workmanship, provided they are used for the purpose for which they were designed, and maintained as instructed.
Welcome to the world of crafted luxury.
