Custom Made Furniture from Conceptualisation to Delivery
My name is Melanie Van Zyl. I am 32 years old. I have been a steel fabricator for 10 years now and have also done extensive work within the field of carpentry. I started apprenticing under my father and since then have been involved with major events such as Afrika Burn, Cape Town Carnival, Rocking The Daisies, to name a few. My work can also be seen within the Madame Zingara group. I have a workshop in Johannesburg, where I am based, as well as, in Cape Town.
Last year July I started a five month contract as a set builder for a production company called UPSET where I worked as part of a construction crew on the movie called "The Last Face".
I have recently started my own custom furniture business called The Workshop. My main focus is custom made furniture and commissioned art pieces, although my expertise run wide (pretty much if you can draw it I can make it)
