High-end sculptural furniture studio in Cape Town

Fecit is a high-end furniture studio and workshop, creating sculptural, long-lasting and beautiful furniture.

Based in Cape Town, South Africa, I design and make bespoke contemporary and sculptural furniture where modern design meets traditional craftsmanship.

Commissions

From an initial idea to a finished piece

Each commission develops through conversation, drawing and making. The process allows every piece to respond to its purpose, material and setting.

Developing the design

The design is refined in CAD to resolve dimensions, structure and construction.
