EE Meyer for Binnehuis, South Africa
South Africa's most sought-after mid-century furniture manufacturer. Meyer was the South African master of understated mid-century elegance, with elegant and clean designs. With a legacy rooted in timeless craftsmanship and iconic design, EE Meyer creations have become highly sought after. Owning an EE Meyer piece is owning a piece of South African design history.
The Binnehuis furniture stores were located in Cape Town, Stellenbosch Somerset-West, Newlands, Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg and were owned by a Dutch businessman and his wife, Mr and Mrs van Ewijck, who moved between South Africa and the Netherlands.
The majority of Meyer's furniture was made in the beautiful hardwood imbuia, also known as Brazilian walnut.
