Our atelier
A Woodstock workshop where old furniture is made new
Mbali Interiors Atelier is a small, Black-owned upholstery and soft-furnishings workshop in Woodstock, Cape Town. We strip furniture back to the frame, rebuild it properly and recover it in the fabric you choose, so a piece worth keeping can last another generation.
We also make curtains, blinds, cushions and headboards to order. Everything is measured, cut, sewn and finished by hand in the atelier, by the people you meet when you first walk in.
What we make
Handmade for your home
-
Reupholstery
Sofas, armchairs and dining chairs stripped, rebuilt and recovered in the fabric you choose. Quoted per piece.

We measure, assess the frame and help you choose fabric, then quote clearly.

-
Fit
We deliver and fit, and make sure it sits right before we leave.
Why choose us
Craft you can live with
We quote clearly before we start, rebuild every frame properly rather than just covering over the old, and hand you back a piece made to last. You deal with the makers throughout.
- We agree fabric, timeline and price up front, and quote clearly before we start.
- Every frame is repaired and rebuilt properly, not simply recovered over the old.
- You deal directly with the makers who cut, sew and finish your piece.
A chair rebuilt well outlives the fashion that made it.
