The Kitchen Studio is one of South Africa’s most pervasive interior and furniture manufacturing companies, and yet for 25 years, it has kept a relatively low profile.
During this time almost 45 000 South Africa homes have been fitted with their kitchens, bedroom cupboards, bathroom vanities and furniture. Its earliest tagline was “We’ve done a kitchen for someone you know”. Today that is truer than ever before.
Besides the beautiful homes it has created, the Kitchen Studio is special because it is proudly South African. It employs almost 500 people and operates out of 23 000m² of production and warehousing space, and 12 showrooms across the country. Every single cabinet, door and piece of furniture that leaves the premises is manufactured on-site – a significant feat for a local company.
It is an owner-run family business, with the founders still deeply involved in all aspects of the business from product design to manufacturing. What has enabled The Kitchen Studio to stand out over its quarter-century is its high level of quality, craftsmanship and innovation.

It was the first kitchen company in South Africa to use Niemann acrylics; the first to use melaply in carcasses instead of chipboard; it introduced wild African grain veneers to local markets; introduced Rehau Crystal and Acrylic to South Africa; and has acquired its own supply-only business, The Studio Collection.
The company combines the skills of real artisans with high-tech automated machinery to create unique, high-quality interiors. Today you can order bespoke, fully customised interiors with finishes ranging from solid wood, engineered veneers, semi tempered glass, acrylics to natural and engineered stones.
Through its mission to continually improve, grow and offer increasingly unique and high-quality interiors, it has cemented itself as a cornerstone of the local industry. And it will continue to build personalised kitchens for generations to come.
