Our story

Every piece starts as a plank and a pencil line.

Hands sanding wood

Teak & Grain is a small workshop in Pomona, Kempton Park, run by Dean Maartens. We make shelves, wall décor, TV units and furniture by hand — measuring, cutting, sanding and finishing each piece ourselves.

We believe good furniture should feel warm, look honest and last for years. That means solid timber, careful joinery and finishes that let the grain show through.

Whether it's a piece from the shop or something built to fit one particular wall, we deliver across South Africa.

Craft, not mass production

No two boards are the same, so no two pieces are either. Small knots and grain variations are part of what makes your piece yours.
