For over 40 years, Wunders has set the standard for handcrafted, locally made furniture. Now, with MakeSpace, we take that expertise further—creating high-quality, design-forward pieces from what would otherwise be waste.
Sustainability is not a trend; it’s a commitment. MakeSpace by Wunders is a groundbreaking initiative that transforms upholstery offcuts, factory remnants, and discarded materials into covetable, contemporary designs—ensuring that every resource is valued, and nothing goes to waste.
At Wunders, we believe every material has a story—and a future. MakeSpace is our commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and innovation.
How we do it:
Upcycling Offcuts - Repurposing high-quality materials left over from our production process.
Handcrafted in Cape Town - Every piece is carefully designed and assembled by skilled artisans.
Sustainable Design - Transforming waste into functional, beautiful, and long-lasting objects.
Supporting Local Jobs - Providing meaningful work for artisans while championing circular design.
At the helm of MakeSpace is Heath Nash, a renowned South African designer known for his innovative work in sustainable design and upcycling. With over 20 years of experience, Heath has built a career reimagining waste into beautiful, functional objects.
Through MakeSpace, he collaborates closely with Wunders' skilled artisans to push the boundaries of what a factory can do, creating thoughtful, high-quality pieces that tell a story of craftsmanship, resourcefulness, and sustainability.
