Design Story

Majestic Movement

On Cheetah Chariot, we see a playful monkey wearing a feathered crown, carried by a graceful cheetah through a richly ornamented botanical landscape. Together, they create a whimsical yet sophisticated composition that celebrates movement, storytelling and the artistic spirit of Southern Africa.

The background is defined by sophisticated stripes that introduce rhythm, depth and timeless elegance to the design. Rich botanical details, flowing foliage and expressive colour palettes frame the composition, creating an artwork that feels both vibrant and beautifully balanced.

Every detail has been thoughtfully composed to celebrate decorative artistry, graceful movement and refined craftsmanship. Blurring the line between textile and artwork, Cheetah Chariot becomes an expressive statement piece that feels both playful and undeniably sophisticated.

Whether styled as a single statement piece or layered with natural textures, rich velvets and curated objects, Cheetah Chariot introduces warmth, personality and an unmistakable sense of artistry into contemporary interiors.

Designed and handmade in Cape Town, each cushion reflects a thoughtful approach to craftsmanship, colour and slow production.

The Royal African Collection

The Royal African Collection celebrates the majesty of Southern Africa through expressive contemporary textile design, where iconic wildlife, rich botanical ornamentation and refined colour palettes come together in timeless compositions.

Inspired by Africa’s extraordinary landscapes, decorative heritage and remarkable wildlife, each design transforms familiar subjects into artistic statement pieces. Graceful animals, sophisticated patterns and carefully layered botanical elements create a collection that feels both vibrant and elegantly composed.

Designed to layer beautifully within curated interiors, the collection pairs naturally with warm woods, tactile textiles, natural stone and collected objects, bringing depth, character and an unmistakable sense of place to every space.

AVYNESS Philosophy

Presale 

Selected AVYNESS pieces are available through a thoughtfully curated presale approach and produced in considered quantities with our Cape Town partners before shipment to Europe.

Collections are ordered rhythmically in alignment with customer demand, supporting a slower, more conscious approach to interior sourcing while reducing unnecessary overproduction.

Estimated dispatch: Approximately 4-6 weeks. A small selection of exclusive pieces is occasionally available for immediate purchase at the AVYNESS showroom. We would be delighted to welcome you.

Insert 

Our cushion covers are intentionally offered without inserts.

Every home is different, and styling preferences vary. Offering the cover separately allows you to choose the insert that best achieves your preferred look — whether generously filled for a sculptural appearance or softer for a more relaxed aesthetic.

Should you require guidance in selecting the ideal insert, we are always happy to assist.
