OF CUSTOM STUFF
WHAT KIND OF STUFF?
PRODUCT PROTOTYPING
DESIGN, TESTING & MANUFACTURE
We are able to take your idea or concept and turn it into a viable product. We have created a wide and diverse range of product prototypes using a variety of materials and platforms. View some of our more recent prototyping projects here.
We’re based in Cape Town – Get in touch if you’d like us to help you bring your idea to life!
PRODUCT DESIGN
Wood is tactile, natural and can be gently machined and crafted into form. We love working with wood – using our hands, feeling the textures, the smell of the lumber, its weight. It’s a great feeling to create something unique from a piece of rough wood, knowing it will last a generation and bring joy to many.
CUSTOM CODE
Conversely, code is abstract and exists only in our heads and in bits and bytes. It too can be crafted and polished into a unique kind of product. Building something beautiful and functional out of code is equally enjoyable and compliments the creation of physical products.
We use the same meticulous design process and attention to details in both areas to bring you clean, functional, beautifully crafted products that are built to last. See our projects section for examples of some of our previous work.
WE MAKE STUFF OUT OF WOOD
PRODUCT DESIGN
We make anything that is not boring! We like to make stuff that solves problems. We like to make stuff that lasts for the next generation…
DESIGN
We 3D model projects before starting so you know exactly what you're getting. It also allows us to lock down the exact measurements so we can build in our workshop and only worry about installation on site.
MANUFACTURE
All the pieces for a project are hand crafted in our workshop. We pride ourselves in our extreme attention to detail. We build stuff to last so we don't take any shortcuts.
MATERIALS
We like to use hard woods - locally sourced where possible. We favour species like blackwood, oak, maple & walnut and prefer birch ply and bamboo over materials like MDF or chipboard that don't last well.
FINISHES
We like to use oils and natural stains and sealants where the material or the project's use allows. We like to give the raw materials a chance to shine instead of covering something that has a natural beauty.
We have created a wide variety of products and projects. Please take a look at some of our previous work

CUSTOM WORK
CUSTOM GOOGLE SHEETS
Spreadsheets sound boring… and in a way they are. But through custom coding using scripts running in the background almost anything can be achieved.
We have built an entire suite of systems for the restaurant industry including automated ordering sheets, stock managed and forecasting, shift rostering, payroll and financials.
