Our Process
Before we begin designing any furniture item, we sit down with every customer and work together with them to find out what will suit their space, style and unique requirements.
Starting with jotting the idea down, then working it into our design software, sourcing the right wood and lastly manufacturing, we pay close attention to ensure our customers are happy at every step and that their furniture fits seamlessly into their daily routine.
“There are three responses to a piece of design – yes, no and WOW! Wow is the one we aim for.”
A Custom Furniture Manufacturer with a Mind for Design
Award winning furniture designer, Ian Perry, is the mind behind Homewood’s characteristic blend of contemporary, traditional and Scandi, African-inspired furniture. We term our style AfroScandi…
Made by Hand, Made with Heart
You can see the difference between handmade and machine-made furniture a mile away! There’s just something different about furniture that’s made with a loving, human touch – it has more soul, depth and character.
One-of-a-Kind, Artisanal Furniture
Each furniture item that we make is completely one-of-a-kind, defined by an expressive knot, varied grains or colourful streaks which reveal the unique story of the tree. These subtle nuances speak volumes to the life the tree lived: how it weathered great storms, how it endured drought and other unique conditions that it grew in. Where most custom furniture manufacturers would perceive knots and non-uniform grains as blemishes, we see them as the elements that make our furniture special. We celebrate them!
WEAVE IT YOUR WAY
In our efforts to imbue the traditional African spirit into our furniture, many of our pieces have the option of weaved seating or back rests, made with rope in varying thickness (2.5mm, 5mm and 8mm). We have different weave patterns and weave colours available.
DANISH WEAVE
The art of traditional Danish weaving typically incorporates wrapping, rushing style weaving, and basket weave patterns. It gained popularity starting after World War II in Denmark and other European countries. It is generally only seen on high end, quality made furnishings.
The weaving is one sided and only wraps around a single rung on all sides. From the underside you will see the cord is attached by specialty hook nails.
Typically a very strong 3-ply fiber product was used – however we have opted for the 2.5mm Polyester rope due to strength and durability.
Our 2 patterns woven are self explanatory in the images shown:
COTSWOLD WEAVE
This weave pattern is characterised by a shoelace type threading on the sides of the seat and rope wrapped around the front and back surface. This weave uses a thin 5mm rope, which gives pieces a refined look.
WRAP WEAVE
This weave technique can be recognised by rope wrapped around all sides of the frame surface. It can be achieved using either 5mm or 8mm rope.
IMBIZA WEAVE
This special weave technique was developed exclusively for our Imbiza range. It can be described as a full shoelace cut out, wherein rope is laced throughout the entire woven item, covering the seat and backrest as a single section.
UPHOLSTERY: WRAPPED IN LUXURY
Besides enjoying the aesthetic charm of our furniture, we want people to be cushioned in comfort, which is why we use quality leather or fabric upholstery.
FABRIC
We only use Hertex fabric, which has a reputation for longevity and durability. However we can also use fabrics sourced and supplied from other fabric houses…
LEATHER
Not all leathers are made equal. We source Bovine leather for our premium upholstery offering. It is known for its quality, comfort, strength and suppleness.
