Justin Van Breda: The Cape Weaver Collection

London-based, Cape Town–born designer Justin Van Breda is known for his bespoke furniture and style atelier. With his South Africa birthplace in mind, Van Breda has launched The Cape Weaver Collection, featuring the designs of industry leaders from around the globe: Mally Skok, Nina Campbell and Amanda Lindroth, to name a few. Exquisite rattan pieces—from bar carts to living room furniture—are all handwoven by members of The Civilian Blind, a 90-year-old Cape Town nonprofit that provides training and job opportunities to blind and visually impaired South Africans.

Full circle: The Civilian Blind is near to Van Breda’s heart—his childhood home was filled with products from the charity’s workshop.
