About Us
Why is nothing made to last anymore? That is the question that drove us to start UnionWare.
Lasting style and taste, quality and longevity ……. We strongly believe in uncompromising quality & endurance – a hallmark of the best materials and craftmanship. What is exceptional today will remain so in the future.
Two childhood friends with divergent careers – Julie in the arts and creative industry and Michelle with a successful career in Human Resources, were drawn together by a fascination and love of beautiful places, gardens, interiors and an appreciation of the natural world, to create Union Ware.
We are proudly South African and utilize the skills of our talented local craftspeople and artisans to manufacture and create our wonderful range of homeware.
Our focus is on creating and developing products that are outstanding additions to living spaces. Beautiful solid oak boards with hand lathed and bevelled detailing for your kitchen and dining areas. Also for these areas as well as the rest of the home, we produce exceptional cushions to immediately beautify any room with our attention to detail and choice of gorgeous materials.
Our UnionWare BOARDS provide a beautiful stage, a platform to hold things, to present your food in any room. Today’s little moment becomes tomorrow’s precious memory. Our range is designed to stand the test of time. Your cheese, fruit or bread board is easily carried from kitchen to entertainment area; the handsome designs as attractive on a dining table as any food platter. The UnionWare range of boards is hand crafted in South Africa by our skilled artisans who care about quality and design. This adds a unique touch to each piece. We are proud to support local craftspeople who produce world class products that we believe to be unsurpassed in South Africa. True kitchen essentials – made to last. In our kitchen, no meal is prepared without a UnionWare feature.
Our impeccably made CUSHIONS for casual and more formal spaces are made from the finest local linens and fabrics. Our limited edition bespoke range of cushions is created using cloth from many international fabric houses and thoughtfully edged with exquisite trimm.
We set out to build authentic, original products that’ll stand the test of time. The designs are contemporary yet traditional, made to the highest standards to ensure longevity. Our products are not only made to last, but they will feature for life. Your very own practical treasures bringing enjoyment for decades to come. We hope that our UnionWare designs will be as relevant to you in the future as they are now.
Design is not just how it looks and feels. Design is also how it works.
Available to shop online, please ask about our extensive range of authentic homeware items. We have recently expanded the business to include our new range of soft furnishing, comprising headboards, ottomans, occasional seating, upholstery & curtains.
To create something exceptional, your mindset must be relentlessly focused on the smallest details – this is what we pride ourselves on and what allows us to proudly offer our kitchen & home wear, and décor items, to you.
