Custom orders
Bring an idea, a theme, a car shape, or a rough photo.
Custom work starts with a simple conversation about size, colour, finish, upholstery, budget, and where the piece will be used. From there, the item is shaped, reinforced, painted, and finished by hand. Retro-inspired and customer-requested themes are welcome.
Most pieces are custom-built or restored by request.
Lead times depend on size, detail, and current workshop schedule.
- Send the idea Share a reference, measurements, colours, upholstery, or the room it is for.

The maker
Big personality, made one product at a time.
Owners Jan Pretorius and Michelle Pretorius bring the ideas to life through hands-on work: shaping, sanding, strengthening, upholstery, painting, polishing, and adjusting until the piece feels right. The result is not mass-produced decor. It is something made for a specific person, room, event, or idea.
