WORDS Cheri Morris
Interior designer and founder of NM Design Nelia Malherbe creates timeless pieces that humbly boast beautiful joinery and honest quality craftsmanship.
Through Nelia’s deep appreciation for historical architecture and antique furniture, NM Design sees the simple, yet quality rendering of wooden homeware expertly finished in your choice of either oak, stained black or yellowwood. Among other things, NM Design produces stools, vanity cupboards, desks, couches, chairs and benches.
NM Design also offers handmade ceramic light fixtures all available in colour choices of black, terracotta and sand. Nelia also commissions art pieces and interior design solutions with a focus on neutral palettes and a preference to playing with texture and detail. With a vision that speaks to timelessness rather than trend-setting and her talent for creating calm, this South African’s contemporary, classic work showcases minimalist beauty at its best.
