About Silverback Creations
At Silverback Creations, we specialise in custom furniture South Africa can trust for quality, craftsmanship, and timeless design. Every piece we create is shaped by precision, patience, and a deep commitment to traditional woodworking. Although the brand was officially established in 2024, our foundation comes from years of refining skill, studying wood, and learning the techniques that help furniture last for generations.
Each item is built using authentic joinery methods. This approach strengthens every piece and gives it the beauty and integrity that define true handcrafted work. Our focus is on creating furniture that is refined, functional, and made with care, allowing clients to invest in something that not only enhances their space but becomes part of their story.
The craftsman behind the work
Phill, our lead designer and craftsman, is the heart of Silverback Creations. His methodical approach blends engineering knowledge with artistic sensitivity. He studies the wood, considers its movement and strength, and shapes it in a way that respects its natural lines. His work celebrates texture, grain patterns, and the personality each piece of timber holds. Through this, he creates custom furniture South Africa clients are proud to display in their homes.
Crafted with timeless skill
Every piece is handmade using traditional joinery, no shortcuts. Each creation is built with care, precision, and the kind of craftsmanship that lasts for generations.
Designed for your lifestyle
From the first sketch to the final finish, every design is shaped around your needs. We tailor each to your space and vision, creating furniture that feels personal and intentional.
Made from premium woods
We source the finest local and imported woods for beauty, strength, and character. Every grain, tone, and texture is chosen to elevate your design and bring it to life.
Craftsmanship rooted in tradition
Our work includes floating shelves, custom dining tables, coffee tables, beds, wardrobes, and TV stands. We also design and build office furniture, outdoor and patio furniture, and kitchen cabinetry. Every piece begins with a concept and is shaped into something unique through a careful, hands-on process. This is what sets us apart in the world of custom furniture South Africa.
We work with premium imported hardwoods as well as quality local timbers. African rosewood, oak, kiaat, teak, maple, and olive are just some of the materials used to bring each design to life. Every board is selected for its grain, tone, and natural character. These choices influence the final look and feel of each piece, helping us create furniture that stands out for its warmth and authenticity. Every timber choice is guided by the client’s vision and, where applicable, their interior designer’s specifications, with expert guidance ensuring the right material for each piece.
Furniture made to last
We believe furniture should be made to endure. That is why our pieces are built to last 30 to 50 years or more, becoming heirloom items passed down through a family. Longevity is part of our identity, and each joint, curve, and surface reflects that intention. When you invest in Silverback Creations, you invest in design, durability, and craftsmanship that honours traditional woodworking.
Designed for your home, built around your vision
Every project begins with a conversation. We take time to understand your style, your space, and the purpose behind the design. Whether you want a single statement piece or a full home collection, we collaborate with you from concept to completion. This ensures the final result feels personal, intentional, and aligned with the way you live.
Our goal is simple. We want to create custom furniture South Africa clients can enjoy for a lifetime. If you are ready to explore your ideas or begin a custom project, we would be honoured to create something extraordinary with you.
