Crafting a Legacy

About Us

Our story begins in 1931 on the cobblestoned streets of the prewar Durban CBD. Mr S. Batohi (1908 – 2001) was a first generation Indian immigrant descending from Indian artisans.

He established the business using his family’s generational skills (passed from father to son from ancient times) when he recognised an opportunity in the design and manufacture of custom mattresses in the quickly growing city.

A factory was established on First Avenue, Greyville and the business soon specialised to provide bespoke upholstery and curtaining to the growing Durban suburbs as well as hospitality businesses in the city.

The business takes its name from its founder, as was the tradition at the time.

Evolution

The demand for bespoke upholstery design and repair quickly exceeded the demands of our mattress business. While we retain our artisanal approach to traditional pieces, our process has been modernised to meet contemporary demands in design and materials.

We are now a full service consulting firm offering turnkey interior solutions commercially and to the public.

Our contracts are primarily with the Tourism Industry, Developers, Architects, Quantity Surveyors, Project Managers and Contractors.
