BOFRED SHOWROOM

Douglas & Company was asked to redesign the new Bofred showroom in Cape Town, creating a considered backdrop for the studio’s growing collection.

Bofred is a Cape Town-based furniture and design studio known for its playful, sculptural pieces and distinctive use of colour.

The redesign sought to create a gallery-like space rather than a conventional furniture showroom. Working with a textured natural stone floor, the existing industrial ‘white box’ character and exposed building services were deliberately retained, providing a restrained canvas against which the furniture brings colour, form and personality.

The open and flexible layout allows for the frequent reshuffling of pieces and displays, enabling the space to be continually reinterpreted as the collection evolves.
