Studio G

“We are the sum total of our experiences” – .Jean Paul Sartre.

Studio G is the place where gifted sculptor, Gerhard van Niekerk, mixes his creativity with functionality in creating handmade furniture and functional art.

Whilst Gerhard’s artistic talents presented themselves earlier in his life, he chose to pursue a life of entrepreneurship after studying fine art. After 15 years of hard work, Gerhard – thanks to the support and encouragement of his business partner and wife Toni and other long-time business partner Reitz Krige – has been granted the opportunity to re-enter his studio and live his dream of working primarily as a sculptor and designer. He now spends most of his days in his home studio where each Studio G piece is individually crafted by him and his assistant Amos. Amos, previously a brick-layer, enjoys working and learning under the watchful eye of Gerhard. What makes them such a great team is that Amos shares Gerhard’s satisfaction in high standards of quality and precision and his relentless pursuit of perfection.

Gerhard is based in the picturesque Boland town of Somerset West, which is nestled in between the rugged Helderberg mountain range and the idyllic Falsebay coastline. His inspiration for Studio G’s timeless furniture creations comes from his passion for sculpture and his beautiful surroundings.
