Born from a passion for thoughtful design, sustainable practices and extraordinary local craftsmanship, Studio KÁJA's design journey begins with curiosity and a Weltanschauung inspired by architecture, nature and timeless designs. Each piece is uniquely storied from concept to experimentation to functional object, where the material selection is a mindful process and the environmental and social implications of production are just as intentional.
From concept to reality, Studio KÁJA has navigated countless iterations and collaborations with local artisans,' says Simoné Lategan, interior designer and founder of Studio KÁJA. 'We've refined our processes, honed our aesthetic, and found our core production team in Pierre Cronje Fine Furniture, who have become like family. Today, we're honoured to offer pieces that embody our values: mindfully crafted in Cape Town and made to last.'
