Small Business Showcase: Native Decor

Today's #SmallBusinessShowcase is all about Native Decor who makes the coolest hand finished, home accessories!

We always get so excited when we discover a small business that actually manufacturers their own products in South Africa from scratch! With this in mind, we'd like to introduce you to Vusani Ravele from Native Decor! We think you will absolutely love his story!

Native Decor creates visually pleasing products that are both innovative and functional using sustainable timber. Their minimalist style, which underpins all of their designs, is mostly inspired by our beautiful country, South Africa.

Some of the products that Native Decor manufactures include mirrors, wall art, wall hooks, lighting, magazine racks, clocks, coffee pod holders, candle holders, pot plants, coasters, wine holders, USB flash drives, and other corporate gifts!

Vusi started this business as a part-time hobby from his living room in 2015 after receiving a cordless drill as a Valentine’s Day gift. He simply couldn’t stop making and drilling holes into things. Fast-forward to a year later and he found himself making history on M-Net’s Shark Tank SA TV show. Vusi became the first entrepreneur to benefit from a lucrative investment deal with his present day business partner, Gil Oved of The Creative Counsel.
