About —

KÁJA (“kai-yah”): translating to “pure” — “home”.

Founded in 2023 by designer Simoné Lategan, STUDIO KÁJA is a Cape Town-based furniture studio working to enrich the human experience, encourage honest living and create designs that embrace simplicity, usefulness and a movement of the senses.

We believe in locally crafted, sustainably produced, multigenerational lasting furniture. Our core collections are produced in Cape Town by the hands of talented artisans who form part of our manufacturing partner, Pierre Cronje Fine Furniture.

Each piece is produced using time-honoured techniques that have been passed down over decades with an emphasis on sustainably sourced materials and human touch embedded in each part of the process. A consideration of the wellbeing of our artisans, our clients, and the future of our planet while creating pieces that bring warmth and wonder wherever they go.
