Furniture reupholstery in Eastern Cape: local notes
Older homes in Walmer, Mill Park and Summerstrand in Gqeberha, and in Vincent and Selborne in East London, bring in solid lounge suites, wingbacks and dining chairs worth recovering. Graaff-Reinet, Cradock and Somerset East have Cape Dutch furniture, stinkwood chairs and riempie benches that need careful restoration. In Mdantsane, Motherwell and KwaZakhele, families recover lounge suites, and Makhanda landlords redo couches in student houses between terms.
Upholstery work in Eastern Cape
Car factories in Kariega and East London have given this province a deep pool of motor trimming and seat work, and that skill spills over into bakkie seats, taxi benches, classic car interiors and boat cushions. Gqeberha's industrial areas in Struandale and Deal Party and East London's Wilsonia hold many of the workshops, alongside home upholsterers in the townships. Furniture work changes with the landscape: Karoo towns such as Graaff-Reinet and Cradock have Cape Dutch pieces and riempie chairs, Makhanda has student houses and old settler homes, and the Wild Coast relies on long trips from Mthatha. The constant wind and salt on the coast rust staples and wear outdoor fabric, while Karoo dust settles into every couch.
