Welcome to Philosophy Furniture & Design
At Philosophy, we believe great furniture design makes the everyday effortless. Creating spaces where you can connect with friends and family or switch off from the world for a while. Multi-functional pieces, built bespoke to order that last a lifetime. We call it furniture designed for living.
Our collection of the best of contemporary South African design talent offers something utterly unique. Beautiful pieces for life as we live it today. Refreshingly simple with natural lines and incredible textures. Each piece tells a story, with a sense of escapism inspired by the very best of modern South Africa. Made with respect for the planet and for people at every stage of production.
