Our story
BestWood is a family business. What started 15 years ago as a humble endeavour to service a handful of architects has evolved into something completely consuming. It is the sum of our collective love for the natural beauty of wood and for the endless allure of great design.
We continue to be inspired by nature. And like our discerning clients, we believe in the enduring value of patient craftsmanship. Our team thrives on design collaborations that enable us to contribute to iconic architecture.
Nature
We respect the wonder of a sustainable natural resource that is as varied, as it is beautiful.
Exclusive partnerships with world-class makers of premium floor and wall solutions remain a cornerstone of our philosophy and offering. BestWood clients appreciate the provenance of their carefully selected finishes.
Our ethos calls for a high level of personal service to architects and interior designers, as well as to astute private clients.
Craftsmanship
Every architectural finish we offer has in some way been affected by the hands of skilful artisans who rely on a rich heritage of bespoke carpentry and an understanding of the nuances specific to hardwoods.
There is simply no better way of making a floor or wall finish that is to perform optimally and remain relevant for decades to come.
To this tradition, our colleagues at Hakwood have added a distinctly Dutch appreciation for rigorous product design, innovating with colours, textures, patterns and shapes.
The result is wide-spread acclaim for sought after creations that are unique and beautiful, made in the most environmentally responsible way possible and adored by designers in over 60 countries.
Architecture
Iconic buildings stand the test of time and contribute to greater societal impacts by enhancing the lives of those that interact within and around the spaces they create.
Our co-directors share a deep respect for outstanding architecture & design.
South African architects and interior designers are often prepared to challenge established norms and we’re motivated to assist them in pushing technical boundaries without sacrificing the quality we’ve long been associated with.
Our team is standing by to guide you with the specification for your unique project requirements.
