I’m Lucas, and welcome to Good Oak. Based in Paarden Eiland, Cape Town. We’re a small driven team offering a range of locally manufactured solid oak furniture goods, with a professional and prompt turnaround time, delivered anywhere within South Africa. 

So why only oak? Despite the species not being indigenous to South Africa, this tree brings back memories of good times spent in the beloved Cape Winelands. There’s something truly South African about oak; with it’s easily distinguishable leaves, it’s large overhanging canopy, and the unique aroma enjoyed by wine-lovers and carpenters countrywide, oak is simply a pleasure to work with.

Our design aesthetic is simple: minimalism is at the heart of every Good Oak furniture piece, because we believe that design should never be noticed, instead, it should fade to the background so the object can be enjoyed without restraint. Our design philosophy is that form follows function, and all our pieces imbue this; right from the lumber yard, through to manufacture.

Our value proposition is one that strikes a balance between offering goods that are affordable, while being locally manufactured from quality materials and finishes. Despite the contrary being the norm, we believe that good design shouldn’t be charged for, and should result with items being more accessible, not more exclusive.

We offer a growing range of solid oak goods from which to choose, and while we don’t take on custom design and manufacture work, we always welcome the enquiry to see whether the design in question could be added to our range.

We look forward to inviting you to our workshop at 11 Calcutta Street, 19 Tamric Park, Paarden Eiland, Cape Town, 7405 (by appointment only). Mail us at hello@good-oak.co.za or call  +27 83 321 7804
