Urban Jungle

Visit Our Showroom

The Urban Jungle showroom, at the Milkwood Village in Wilderness Western Cape, is a treasure of custom furniture, soft furnishings, handpicked décor, accessories and artefacts. We are committed to supporting artisans in South Africa and around the world. Sourcing old and new, we believe handmade is important. Unique imperfections make it beautiful; it celebrates the human hands that have made it.

Our items are shaped by the imagination and local traditions of the artist who made them.

The Urban Jungle Workshop

Our on-site workshop offers bespoke curtains, (re-)upholstery, and soft furnishings. Our team comes from the local community, which we support through training and building experience. We produce export quality furniture and upholstery in-store, which we then use in our projects, big or small. We love working with our local hospitality industry and refurbishing holiday homes along the Garden Route.

About Us

We feel that we are at the beginning of a trend where people change their lifestyles, for example the rethinking of personal and professional ambitions and the end of the traditional eight-to-five day at a workplace.

Shoppers in SA are returning to the shops, but we are of the opinion that there will be more demand for smaller independent and creative stores that are providing their clients’ needs. We believe local neighbourhood centres will benefit as people try to avoid the crowds. Brand sales will be on the increase, we notice that clients are turning to luxury and custom design for superior products and a better shopping experience.

Many shoppers turn to social media for product discovery. However, we believe that physical stores will start doing better than online businesses, as a store or showroom engages all five senses. We already experience this in the feedback we receive from clients visiting our showroom. At Urban Jungle we connect with clients through personalized and engaging experiences.

With regards to trends, we notice a preference for natural materials and locally made products.

Spending more time at home makes us connect more to nature, creating a visual connection including indoor plants and the colour green to bring the outdoors in.

Also on the increase are : floral and geometric wallpaper, sustainable materials and recycled fabrics, adding soft and curvy furniture, as we crave comfort and cosiness in  open-plan settings.

These are all indications of our clients engaging with and uplifting their indoor and outdoor spaces to turn it into a complete lifestyle experience
