Local furniture design studio and manufacturer The Streets Furniture Company was established by Neil Du Plessis nine years ago in Pietermaritzburg.
Motivated by the desire to produce beautifully crafted pieces, he started out by creating a dinner table out of reclaimed timber.
The designs, which make use of new, as well as industrial-inspired materials, centre around contemporary Scandi style and its minimalist qualities, with collections including trendy side tables, indoor and outdoor benches, chairs and barstools.
Operating as a niche furniture manufacturer, The Streets also creates custom furniture and offers specialist shop-fitting services in and around its location, including Durban, Howick and Hilton.
All of the pieces are locally produced and made from reclaimed wood and hardwoods from Northern America and parts of Europe.
