Kipekee Studio began in Salt Rock on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast with a simple vision: to create thoughtful furniture that brings beauty, calm, and meaning into everyday spaces.

Founded by Michael and Kylie Bornman in 2017, Kipekee Studio has grown from a small garage workshop into a respected South African furniture brand known for handcrafted hardwood furniture, timeless aesthetics, and intentional design. Inspired by Scandinavian simplicity, Japanese joinery, and the natural beauty of raw materials, each piece is designed to feel both functional and enduring.

At the heart of Kipekee is a passion for craftsmanship, community, sustainability, and creating furniture that becomes part of the stories people live within.
