Meyer was the South African master of understated mid-century elegance, with sober and clean designs.
Owning an EE Meyer piece is owning a piece of history, South Africa's most sought-after mid-century furniture manufacturer. As much as we love Scandinavian furniture, some of our mid-century South African pieces are just as beautiful.
The Binnehuis furniture stores were located in Cape Town and Somerset-West, and were owned by a Dutch businessman and his wife, Mr and Mrs van Ewijck, who moved between South Africa and the Netherlands. It seems they were most prolific during the 1960s
