Local and Imported Products

Below is a brief discription of the three possible origins of the peice you are looking at. Either Made by Block and Chisel or Made in RSA or Imported.

Made by Block and Chisel

If this product is labelled as above it was designed by Sibley McAdam and handcrafted at the Block & Chisel workshop in Cape Town. We put great emphasis on quality craftsmanship and strive to produce furniture with timeless character that can be enjoyed by generations to come.
All the timber we use is sourced from reputable suppliers, with preference given to locally grown timber from well-managed, sustainable plantations. The wood for each peice is hand selected by our craftsmen before product commences. From beginning to end our peices are finshed by hand, a testament to the skills of our artisans. This attention to detail means that each peice can take between 6-10 weeks to produce, this is nothing compared to the lifetime of joy spent living with a timeless handcrafted peice of furniture.
Block & Chisel is an environmentally conscious company continually striving to minimize its carbon footprint.

Made in RSA

We pride ourselves on being a local manufacturer and believe in supporting our fellow local craftsmen and suppliers. We source from local manufacturers across South Africa and keep a close relationship with all of them, maintaining a high standard of quality.

Imported

The same emphasis on quality, craftsmanship and timeless character that is put into our locally made pieces, also applies to our exclusive imported collections.
This unique piece has been hand selected by Lynn McAdam, who has been buying furniture for over 35 years, forming a close relationship with our foreign manufacturers.
