WORDS Lisa Johnston
In their individual capacity, timber design experts Zander van Niekerk and Herman Malherbe are renowned for their imaginative use of traditional woodturning and joinery techniques in the creation of innovative furniture. The two have now joined forces, bringing their combined years of experience to Create, a bespoke furniture, kitchen and cabinetry design company.
Create specialises in manufacturing a range of pieces for retail stores and developments – it is the preferred supplier for Waterfall Equestrian Estate, an upmarket housing development in Sunninghill, Johannesburg.
From its base of operations in Johannesburg – alongside which a showroom that showcases the latest in kitchen design – the Create team also designs stand-alone furniture. Its Malburgh Parquet Table, with a top made of old flooring reclaimed from a building in Joburg’s CBD and a powder-coated steel base, is simply gorgeous.
Together with the Create team of expert crafters and artisans, Zander and Herman design dream kitchens, making the best possible use of available space and filling it with innovative built-in cupboards and cabinets. The team’s creative range and quality of workmanship are second to none.
