La Grange Interiors: A South African Design Legacy Rooted in Craftsmanship and Global Vision

From a 200-year-old barn in Franschhoek to beautifully curated showrooms in Johannesburg and Cape Town, La Grange Interiors has charted a remarkable design journey. Nearly three decades since its founding, the studio has evolved into one of South Africa’s most respected luxury interiors brands, with a growing international footprint and a design language that speaks to refined, expressive living.

At the helm is co-founder Sumari Krige, whose discerning eye and commitment to craftsmanship remain the studio’s creative compass. Every piece – whether handpicked from a European antiques market or custom-designed in-house – tells a story of heritage, process and artistry. Her passion for the rare and remarkable has forged long-standing relationships with makers around the globe, from age-old ateliers to contemporary studios.

This thoughtful, textured approach has shaped a distinctive aesthetic: eclectic but harmonious, grounded in quality and detail. Sumari’s showrooms are a testament to this philosophy, where rustic textures meet sculptural form, and curated objects from across continents come together in conversation. It’s a place where timeless design and modern comfort meet, and where the guiding principle is always authenticity.

Beyond retail, La Grange Interiors has become a sought-after design studio for clients both locally and abroad, known not only for its elevated interiors but also for nurturing long-term creative partnerships. Through consistency, curiosity, and a deep respect for craftsmanship, Sumari has created more than a brand – she’s built a design legacy rooted in personal connection and the art of living well.
