new server .....




The latest server that we custom made for a client..... I love the mix of the plywood and jacaranda. Nev (my Nev, not Nev the barber) did a fab job! I love the shadow line!

Birds in flight.....





Used these hand carved jacaranda birds on the wall going up our staircase. I didn't want to do the usual .....think these work - I love the shadows they cast in the afternoon! Blessing carved them from a photo I took a while ago! Never thought it would work. They are 100% re-cycled. We have the five stages of flight in the shop, they sell for R250 each. Using them in the flying "v" formation makes a simple but effective statement.....

The Jacs



Well, my first entry! I'm not much of a writer so you can probably expect more "visuals" than "text" !
My husband and I have a little shop in Durban, South Africa. We manufacture most of our stock ourselves using re-cycled items! The Jacaranda people are my absolute favourite! We have many Jacaranda trees in our neighbourhood but unfortunately they are well loved by ants so a lot have been cut down or fallen over! I have always loved the light colour of the wood and wanted to re-use it for something special... I love simple design and this worked perfectly!
