ABOUT FURNITURE ART COMPANY • ESTABLISHED 1992
Furniture Art Company is a Bloemfontein-based custom furniture and woodworking business that connects design, manufacture, restoration and project-specific installation. The company has developed made-to-measure furniture and architectural woodwork for homes, churches, hospitality spaces, offices and other organisations since 1992.
More than three decades of custom furniture, woodworking, fitted interiors and restoration experience.
Design development and manufacturing are coordinated through our workshop in the Free State.
Furniture is planned around the client’s dimensions, intended use, preferred style and approved specification.
Projects can be considered for homes, churches, hospitality, offices, institutions and suitable commercial spaces.
OUR STORY
Furniture Art Company was established in Bloemfontein in 1992. Over the years, the business has expanded to offer a wide range of custom furniture, fitted interiors, restoration services and architectural woodworking.
The workshop’s experience has grown through projects that rarely fit a single catalogue. A dining table may need to seat an unusually large family; a church may need new furniture matched to an existing sanctuary; a bar may need to accommodate refrigeration and service points; or a damaged heirloom may require careful assessment before restoration. This project-led experience continues to guide the way every new enquiry is approached.
Company: Furniture Art Company
Established: 1992
Workshop: 17 Mackenzie Street, Oos-Einde, Bloemfontein
Core work: Custom furniture, fitted cabinetry, architectural woodwork and suitable restoration
Project path: Brief, design, quotation, manufacture and agreed delivery or installation
OUR CAPABILITIES
Each service has its own planning requirements, but the work shares one practical objective: create furniture or woodwork that fits the space, performs its intended function and can be manufactured to an approved specification.
Made-to-measure dining furniture, bedroom furniture, desks, servers, cabinets and display pieces developed around the required dimensions, function and style.
Custom kitchens, built-in cupboards, studies, wall units and specialist storage planned around rooms, appliances, access, organisation and installation conditions.
Home bars and pub-style installations, commercial counters, wine storage and coordinated pool or gaming furniture designed around service, storage and circulation.
Pews, benches, pulpits, lecterns and communion tables, plus sanctuary storage and matching woodwork for traditional or contemporary worship spaces.
Custom wooden doors, frames, entrances, panelling, arches, stairs and related timber details assessed according to measurements, construction and site needs.
Interior design and room planning can connect fitted furniture, freestanding pieces, wall treatments, storage and finishes into a coherent solution rather than isolated purchases.
Suitable antique, timber and previously manufactured furniture can be assessed for structural repair, replacement parts, refinishing or sympathetic restoration.
Collection, delivery, placement, assembly and fitted installation are defined per project according to location, size, access, site readiness and the approved quotation.
WORKING PRINCIPLES
Custom work is most successful when appearance, function, construction and logistics are considered together. These principles help turn a broad idea into a workable project.
We first identify what the furniture must do, where it will be used, who will use it and which dimensions or existing features cannot change.
Proportions, materials, joints, hardware, finishes and practical clearances are considered with workshop production and everyday maintenance in mind.
The quotation and approved details should clearly identify dimensions, materials, inclusions, exclusions, finish direction, responsibilities, delivery and likely timing.
Doorways, stairs, floor levels, services, wall conditions and site readiness can affect how a piece is constructed, transported, assembled or fitted.
FROM IDEA TO COMPLETION
The exact process depends on whether the work is freestanding furniture, fitted cabinetry, architectural woodwork or restoration, but every project benefits from a clear sequence.
Tell us what you need, where the project is located, how the item or room will be used and the style or result you have in mind.
Share photographs, approximate dimensions, plans, inspiration and access information. Critical measurements or a site assessment may be required for fitted work.
The proposed scope, materials, dimensions, finish direction, exclusions, logistics and estimated timing are developed into a project-specific quotation.
After the specification, quotation and required deposit are approved, materials can be sourced and the work scheduled through the Bloemfontein workshop.
Collection, delivery, assembly, placement and any installation are completed according to the agreed scope, project location and site conditions.
DESIGN • MANUFACTURE • INSTALLATION
Connecting design with manufacture helps resolve practical questions early: whether a large piece can pass through the entrance, how a fitted cabinet will meet an uneven wall, where hardware and services belong, and which materials suit the intended use. It also gives clients one clear path from initial idea to approved specification and finished work.
Not every enquiry needs the same solution. The useful first step is to share enough information for the team to understand the project and advise whether drawings, additional measurements, a workshop assessment or a site visit are required.

STARTING A USEFUL CONVERSATION

Include the town, type of property, floor level and whether the project is residential, commercial, institutional, hospitality or church-related.
Send clear room or item photographs, available plans, sketches and reference images that communicate the design direction you prefer.
Provide approximate dimensions, room sizes, opening sizes and required quantities. Final measurements can be confirmed where the scope requires them.
Describe preferred timber character, colour, hardware, upholstery, finish level and any existing furniture or architecture the work should complement.
