SOME THINGS TEXT LOGO

We design some things for hospitality.
Ethically delivered

Custom FF&E design, ethical sourcing, and production management for hospitality, civic & commercial projects.

Based in Johannesburg and Kampala, working across Africa and beyond.

Some Things exists to create meaningful connections between design, place and production.

We believe the best projects emerge from a deep understanding of their context, drawing on local knowledge, materials, makers and methods to create outcomes that feel authentic to where they belong. Rather than applying a predetermined aesthetic, we approach each project as an opportunity to uncover what is unique about its environment and translate that into thoughtful, enduring design.

Through collaboration with craftspeople, manufacturers and project teams, we seek to create lasting value for both clients and the communities that support their projects.

BOQ & COSTING SUPPORT

We are a collaborative studio bringing systems-led design thinking to production line management and ethical sourcing within the design industry. Our work sits at the intersection of creativity, process, and responsibility, supporting more considered ways of making.


Our services are shaped by a generative design ethos, driven by purpose and curiosity. Sustainability guides our approach, with care for both the environment and the communities we work within embedded at every stage of the process.


We believe there is an opportunity within the design industry to evolve towards more ethical sourcing and responsible production, contributing to resilient, sustainable futures through thoughtful collaboration and informed decision-making.
