In the heart of Pretoria East, where sophistication meets lifestyle, one brand stands out as a benchmark for timeless design, quality materials, and curated living. Weylandts, located at Castle Gate Lifestyle Centre, is more than a furniture and homeware retailer. It is a design philosophy in action, a celebration of authenticity, craftsmanship, and meaningful living.
Founded in 1964 in Windhoek, Namibia, Weylandts is a family owned brand built on heritage and vision. The name Weylandts stems from the founding family’s surname and symbolises decades of refinement and a dedication to creating spaces that feel intentional. Under the leadership of Chris Weylandt, the company has grown into a design driven brand that champions natural materials, sustainable sourcing, and artistic expression.
At the core of the Weylandts experience is an ethos of connection. This connection runs deep, both locally through the brand’s emphasis on African craftsmanship and globally through its curated imports from design hubs around the world. Walking into a Weylandts showroom is like stepping into a gallery of curated spaces. Each piece tells a story. Each layout speaks to lifestyle.
Weylandts embraces the philosophy that less is more. Their signature aesthetic combines raw textures with refined silhouettes. Organic materials like solid wood, leather, stone, and linen are left in their purest forms. This unfiltered approach allows each design to breathe, giving clients the freedom to layer their spaces with intention.
Rather than following fleeting trends, Weylandts prioritises enduring appeal. Their collections are built to evolve with their owners, maturing beautifully with time and use. It is this belief in timeless quality and purposeful living that has earned them loyal clientele across South Africa and abroad.
Weylandts offers a full spectrum of furniture and homeware, carefully curated to suit both modern and traditional interiors. The product range includes sofas, dining tables, armchairs, beds, lighting, rugs, ceramics, wall art, and a wide variety of décor accents. Each piece is handpicked or handcrafted to maintain a consistent standard of quality and authenticity.
Their living collection features statement sofas and occasional chairs made from premium fabrics and leather. Dining tables in solid oak, walnut, and reclaimed wood bring the focus back to communal gathering. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the patio and garden range blends comfort and resilience with striking design.
The bedroom range champions calm and comfort through natural textures and understated tones. Workspace solutions from Weylandts embrace minimalism, encouraging focus and creativity. Every item is designed not only to serve a function but to elevate the experience of daily living.
To complete the offering, Weylandts also provides expert interior styling services. Whether clients need help redesigning a single room or furnishing a new home, the in store design consultants at Castle Gate are ready to offer guidance and personalised advice.
What sets Weylandts apart in the world of interiors is not just their product range but their commitment to values. Chris Weylandt’s vision for the brand involves honouring traditional craft while exploring innovative techniques. This vision translates into pieces that are both soulful and striking.
By partnering with artisans from around Africa, Weylandts brings indigenous craft techniques into the spotlight. Handwoven baskets, textured ceramics, carved wood, and woven textiles are not only aesthetic additions but cultural statements. Each handcrafted item is a celebration of heritage and human touch.
At the same time, Weylandts keeps a finger on the pulse of global design. Their international collections are sourced from design capitals such as Copenhagen, Milan, and Marrakech. These globally sourced items complement the African offering and reflect a harmonious balance between modernity and tradition.
Another hallmark of Weylandts is their focus on sustainability. From responsibly harvested timbers to low-impact production methods, the brand actively makes choices that reduce environmental impact. Packaging, supply chains, and production processes are all evaluated with sustainability in mind. For conscious consumers, this commitment to ethical design is a key factor in choosing Weylandts.
The Weylandts Castle Gate showroom is more than a retail space. It is a destination for those who appreciate the intersection of art and utility. The layout invites exploration, with each corner designed to evoke a feeling or spark an idea. Ambient lighting, curated music, and thoughtful displays turn shopping into a sensory experience.
