Umdabu

Umdabu Fine, custom natural edge furniture. We are two men with a passion for creating unique natural edge furniture. We do not produce, we create.

All our pieces are hand made and truly one of a kind. Over time we have developed a love for natural edge furniture. We love the idea of taking something that previously had no use and breathing new life into it. We believe that nature is perfect. Our inspiration comes from the beautiful country we live in and all of its natural beauty. All our pieces are exclusively African and while most are sou

rced locally, some come from as far as Angola, Botswana and Zimbabwe. We love to incorporate nature and its beautiful elements into modern settings, and our pieces can be found in homes and businesses all over South Africa. Our furniture making process begins and ends with the beauty of a piece of nature, be it the root of a fallen tree or a natural edge wood slab. On completion of our pieces, the final product is ultimately, a piece of functional art.
