Nolden & Early Collaboration

Nolden & Early is a new collaboration of two creative minds in the design and manufacture of bespoke wooden furniture.

All wood procured are cuts from exotic trees grown in South Africa that need to be eradicated. Each piece of timber is therefore carefully selected. It is then dried and thereafter worked into a piece of furniture that will last a lifetime.

Andrew Early has worked with wood all his working life. His work has appeared in numerous exhibitions both locally and internationally. Nicholas Nolden has worked with the décor market for many years importing and manufacturing décor items including lighting; mirrors and accent furniture.
