Wolkberg Launches A New Showroom in Parkhurst

Visit the new showroom in Parkhurst and experience the beauty of Wolkberg Casting Studio firsthand!

“Making Parkhurst cool again” is what one resident said happily. Well the truth is 4th street is full of culture and embodies a vibrant lifestyle with patrons that enjoy socialising, food and design. The area is surrounded by great restaurants and interior design stores and while 4th street might not have been the obvious place one would expect Wolkberg to be, it is more suited to the Wolkberg showroom style than you might think.

The showroom is meant to be a space for the community to visit with clients or by themselves to enjoy, be inspired and perhaps buy some Wolkberg Products.

Since inception “Wolksters” have been trekking all the way out, down the little dirt road to an unassuming plot in Ruimsig which is the studio/ workshop/factory. It was not glamorous however always inspiring to be “in the thick of “ the design and manufacturing.

“We wanted a showroom to honour that experience in a more elevated way.”

The new showroom will be the home of the new Podcast called “In the thick of Design” hosted by co-founder Ramielle De Jager where she will highlight and interview industry gurus and mainly shine a spotlight on Industrial Design and how all the design disciplines can and do work in synergy. A place where students, young designers and aspiring design entrepreneurs can immerse themselves in the design lifestyle, a place where it all starts to make sense.

The interior design style takes its lead from 20th century design, leaning towards 70’s aesthetic and counterpoints current design style by highlighting the use of Wolkberg’s 4 star Eco Label Limesite Tiles, Surfaces and furniture.

The kitchen is one to marvel over and be used! Wolkberg plans to host chefs and invite people to experience the kitchen in action. The walls that are not adorned with Wolkberg Products are done in a Pandoma finish by @Paintsmith Kramerville. The shopfront is a thoughtful design that leaves space for seasonal styling or highlighting an art piece or another artist’s work. Being a self-funded entrepreneurial business that has innovated and made it this far, Wolkberg feels honoured to be in a position to uplift others starting out and show them the way with empathy and enthusiasm.

“We will soon be launching a new range of home accessories that will be available for sale at the showroom alongside many new furniture pieces. The showroom will be a launchpad for new products going forward!”
