Ghar Studio · Sandton, Johannesburg
Tell us the room. We’ll tell you what belongs in it.
The people who decide what earns a place on our floor decide what earns a place in your home. Begin the brief below. It’s roughly how a consult opens.

A sketch, not a scheme.
Pieces are one of one, so availability moves daily.
How it works01 02 03 Book a consult
Three steps, one afternoon.
We read the room
Plans, photographs, rough measurements. Bring them in or send them through. We look at what the room has to do, then mesh that with how you want it to feel.
We design it with you
A direction, a palette, and a shortlist of pieces on the floor now, held for seven days while you decide.
Sourced,
not stocked.
Brand overstock, end-of-range, ex-display, pieces written off by people who count in pallets. We look at them one at a time and turn most of them down. What reaches the floor is here because someone stood in front of it and said yes.

to home.
When the thing your room needs does not exist, we have it made. Small runs, named makers, an honest lead time. It costs more than importing it, and we would rather explain why than pretend otherwise.
Commissioned locallyA room is not a shopping list.
Our designers spend the rest of the week on commercial and residential projects, the kind with drawings, deadlines and a quantity surveyor. Studio is that same eye, pointed at one room, for the length of an afternoon.
Working designersWho we areArchitects first.
Architects first.
Retailers second.
Ghar Studio is the design arm of CDG, an architectural practice working with companies across Africa. The eye that draws commercial buildings is the one pointed at your room, and it comes with the drawings to match.

Made here
The people who make what we cannot find.
Sourcing covers most of a room. The rest gets commissioned from workshops we can drive to, in runs small enough that someone’s name is attached.

Circular
Nothing here needed to be made twice.
Every sourced piece carries a figure: the carbon it saved by not being manufactured again. It sits next to the price on the listing, because it is the same kind of fact.
How we source8/12already existed
Of the pieces on the current shortlists, that many were sourced or kept rather than manufactured again.
1 of 1non-repeatable
Most sourced pieces cannot be reordered, so a room is designed around what is on the floor now.
