THE CRAFT
Designed To Belong.
The best interiors never feel over-designed.
Every element simply feels as though it has always belonged there, and that's how I approach every commission.
Every fabric, foam and finish is selected for the life the cushion will lead—whether that's daily use in a family home, years of guests in a luxury lodge or the changing conditions of a coastal terrace.
Because beautiful spaces deserve details that last.
MEET MARIA
Over Twenty Years Of Making Spaces Feel Complete.
I've always believed that the finishing touches are often the ones people remember. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with homeowners, architects, interior designers, boutique hotels and private game reserves across Southern Africa. One thing always remains the same - quality is always the priority.
I take the time to understand what you're trying to create, offer honest advice where it's needed, and make sure every cushion is crafted to suit the space perfectly.
With Cushions By Design - you know that the little details matter. The right cushion shouldn't just look beautiful on the day it's installed—it should still feel right years later. That's why every piece is made with care, using quality materials and a hands-on approach from start to finish.

HAND-MADE
Shaped With Intention. Made To Spec.
No two projects are ever the same. Some require durable outdoor seating for busy hospitality spaces. Others demand quiet luxury inside private homes. Each begins with understanding how the space will be used, before creating cushions that feel entirely at home within it.
Quiet Luxury
Our cushions are designed to feel like they've always belonged. Thoughtfully made to complement the space, they bring together comfort, texture and timeless style without ever demanding attention.
Premium Fabrics
Every fabric is selected with purpose. Sourced from trusted local and international suppliers, our collection combines beautiful textures with exceptional durability for both indoor and outdoor living.

In the hospitality industry the focus is always guest traffic - and for lodge work, the finish matters. The pieces feel luxurious but are practical enough for daily guest turnover.
